Yesterday it was Canaccord that reduced its sales estimates for Blackberry’s new devices. Today, two U.S. based firms, Cleveland Research and Pacific Crest Securities, were out slagging the company.
Cleveland reportedly indicated that Blackberry is poised to cut build targets on its BB10 phones. Cleveland’s analysts have had feedback that Q10 sales in Canada and the UK have been below expectations and estimated sell-through on Z10s to be half the run-rate seen at introduction.
Pacific Crest apparently echoed Cleveland’s production cut hypothesis, indicating production levels at 1.5 million to 2 million per month were above sell-through levels.
