BlackBerry Jumps Most Since January as Wal-Mart Stocks Priv

  • New Priv Android phone available at Amazon, AT&T as well
  • CEO has said he will exit device business if not profitable

BlackBerry Ltd. jumped the most since January after an industry website reported the company’s newest phone is being sold at Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

The BlackBerry Priv, unveiled last month, is sold in the U.S. through AT&T Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and the company’s own website. Adding Wal-Mart brings a new outlet for sales of the phone during the busy holiday shopping season.
