That’s more than 30% higher than where the stock closed on Wednesday and nearly 20% more than the 52-week high that BlackBerry surged to last week when the Samsung rumor first started to circulate. BlackBerry shares have not traded above $15 since June 2013.
A spokesperson for Samsung had no comment about The Financial Post report. BlackBerry, Evercore and Fairfax were not immediately available for comment.
