Is this the end for Research in Motion?


June 29, 2012



Research in Motion Ltd. (Nasdaq: RIMM) must be stupid or have no other options. 

After yesterday's closing bell it announced delays to the BlackBerry 10 phone release, plans to cut 5,000 jobs, and posted a quarterly loss that was five times bigger than anticipated.

RIMM reported a first-quarter net loss of 99 cents a share which was far lower than the 7-cent loss predicted by analysts and well off last year's profit of $1.33 a share for the same period. Many analysts think that RIMM has little chance of survival as a profitable company.

"They either sell, break up the company or die," Matt Thornton, an analyst at Avian Securities LLC in Boston toldBloomberg News
. "It is just a question of when."
