Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openAn earnings preview article expects modest growth in IBM's Q3 consulting segment, citing rising demand for technology consulting, existing AI partnerships, and a recent cybersecurity acquisition as the drivers behind the anticipated increase.
IBM has raised its dividend every year since 1916, but the recent increases have been just one penny while its debt rises and a weak quarter worried investors.
Bank of America expects IBM to deliver a modest third-quarter earnings beat when it reports on October 21, while keeping its full-year 2026 outlook unchanged. The bank reiterated its buy rating and $280 price target, citing IBM's shift toward higher-margin software (products that earn more profit per dollar of sales), improving profitability and strong free cash flow (cash left over after operating costs and investment spending).
IBM published a study finding that 80% of executives in Europe, the Middle East and Africa had an AI-related incident reach their board or C-suite in the past year, yet only 40% updated their AI governance policies in response. The study also found 75% expect AI agents to have some decision-making autonomy by 2027, but only 37% say their current governance can handle agentic AI deployment.
IBM announced a research partnership with Siemens to advance IBM's nanostack architecture, a new transistor design (the tiny on-off switches in a chip) unveiled earlier in 2026. The collaboration aims to speed up the manufacturing and design work needed for future generations of that chip technology.
