Why Isn’t IBM’s Stock Bouncing Back After Strong Earnings Results?
In July, IBM (NYSE:IBM) stock suffered the worst day in its 115-year history, falling about 25% after the company warned that customers had shifted spending away from its products.
The miss was clearly a matter of timing — a series of major contracts IBM was planning didn’t close by the end of the quarter, as its customers shifted spending to memory and storage products whose prices were increasing rapidly.
