BlackBerry shares surged on Wednesday after the company said it was rewarded a preliminary $814.9 million in arbitration against Qualcomm for royalty overpayments.
The figure is about 20 percent of BlackBerry's U.S. market capitalization. The Canadian company's U.S.-traded shares jumped more than 19 percent in premarket trade on the news, before closing up over 15 percent on Wednesday.
