Shares in BlackBerry Ltd. have had a choppy 2014 so far, but are still up more than 40 per cent from a year ago as sentiment improves that its new CEO, John Chen, can turn around the struggling Canadian smartphone maker.

This StockReports+ report suggests there's reason for optimism that the BlackBerry bounce can continue.

StockReports+ gives each stock an average score that combines the quantitative analysis of six widely-used investment decision-making tools: earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, price momentum and insider trading. BlackBerry's average score has climbed this year and at the end of August rose from 7 to 8, placing it among the top quartile of stocks rated by StockReports+. Back in January, the score was 4. The recent change in the average score was primarily due to an improvement in the price momentum component score.
