20 (Reuters) Facebook Offer 19,000 million for WhatsApp has strengthened the position of BlackBerry . It can be concluded that investors consider the Canadian messaging platform manufacturer, BlackBerry Messaging, has been undervalued.

BlackBerry

shares have risen to 9% in after-hours trading Wednesday as the agreement increases the valuation metrics around the BlackBerry Messaging courier company. BlackBerry Messenger, or BBM, is a messaging service for mobile pioneer, but its user base has failed to keep pace with WhatsApp or other new entrants, partly because for a long time refused to open BlackBerry service users on other platforms.

WhatsApp, with a user base of about 450 million, has grown rapidly. His service operates in the Apple iOS platform, the operating system Google Android leader and driven operating systems Windows and BlackBerry devices.

BBM remains popular, though BlackBerry devices have lost fame. Late last year, the Canadian company based in Ontario finally opened the messaging platform for users of iPhone and Android mobile devices, and the number of active users of the service has grown to more than 80 million. However, investors have little value attributed to this asset within the company.

In a note to clients on Tuesday, Steven Li, an analyst at Raymond James, detailed an assessment of BBM only $ 240 million, or $ 3 per user, a far cry from the nearly $ 42 that was valued WhatsApp in offering Facebook.

After climbing to $ 9.82 in after-hours operations on Wednesday, shares of BlackBerry completed at about $ 9.54, up from $ 9.01 the end of the session. Shares gained 5.6% to reach $ 9.52 yesterday afternoon.
