Analyst projections of the future price of IBM stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
IBM’s software portfolio is gaining traction in areas linked to enterprise AI and hybrid cloud. In the second quarter, Red Hat grew 11% and Data grew 19%, showing that the higher-growth businesses are expanding despite weaker transaction-processing sales. (IBM)
IBM is also benefiting from customers’ AI infrastructure spending rather than being shut out by it. Distributed Infrastructure, including Power and Storage, grew at a record pace and ended the quarter with an order backlog of nearly $500 million. (IBM)
The company still expects free cash flow to rise by about $1 billion in 2026 and raised its expected pre-tax margin expansion. If delivered, that would show IBM can improve profitability and cash generation while it absorbs the current revenue disruption. (IBM)
IBM cut its 2026 constant-currency revenue-growth forecast to 4–5% after customers redirected spending towards AI data-centre equipment. That shift delayed large software and mainframe deals and caused the second-quarter miss. (Reuters)
The mainframe cycle is a material near-term drag: IBM Z revenue fell 42% in the second quarter and Transaction Processing software fell 8%. Software growth was only 5%, and was flat excluding acquisitions, making it harder for newer products to offset the legacy decline. (Reuters, SiliconANGLE)
IBM spent about $10.5 billion on acquisitions in the first half, while first-half free cash flow was flat and debt stood at about $62 billion at June-end. The acquisitions may strengthen the software portfolio, but they leave less balance-sheet headroom and increase integration risk if growth disappoints. (SiliconANGLE, IBM)
