Research in Motion Ltd: Is RIM Done?
MGI Research, May 2011, Pages: 13
RIM's recent financial guidance put the lingering questions about its strategy and execution into sharp focus. RIM (MGI Index= 2,396) shares lost over 28% since April 28th 2011. Some observers feel that the tsunami of Apple (MGI Index=8,327) and Android offerings has irrevocably washed RIM away from its comfortablemarket position. Others see the current RIM challenges as a temporary hiccup for an otherwise great company in a great market. Can RIM retain a meaningful leadership position in the new mobile computing landscape and generate above market growth and profitability? Can it defend its position in the consumer markets and successfully penetrate the tablet space? Or will it roll back to being a niche provider of mobile access solutions for secure enterprise-class e-mail? Does the company have a realistic vision of the overall mobile computing opportunity? How long will the recovery process take? Do the RIM board and current management team have the right combination of skills to translate the vision into action? In this research note we examine RIM survival and recovery scenarios and share our outlook on RIM's future. This insightful, data-filled report is a must-read for competitive analysis and shareholders of RIM.
