IBM flags $17.2 billion preliminary Q2 revenue, sending shares down as much as 23% premarket
AI مارکیٹ کا خلاصہ
IBM preannounced Q2 revenue ($17.2B) and adjusted EPS below consensus, attributing the shortfall to a mix shift: infrastructure fell 7% as customers pulled forward AI-hardware purchases, delaying software and consulting deal timing. The stock's ~23% premarket drop signals heightened sensitivity to enterprise IT spending cadence and execution risk, despite software growth and continued funding for strategic AI and quantum initiatives.

IBM warned on July 14 that preliminary second-quarter revenue would be $17.2 billion, well below Wall Street expectations of about $17.9 billion, while adjusted earnings of $2.93 a share also missed the $3.01 consensus. The shortfall was driven by infrastructure revenue, including mainframes and hardware, which fell 7% year over year, while software rose 5% and consulting was roughly flat. The company said clients pulled forward purchases of AI-related hardware in late June to get ahead of expected price increases, delaying some software and consulting deal closures. The update sent IBM shares down as much as 23% before the opening bell, its worst single-day reaction in years.
