International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is seeing mixed perspectives in recent developments. The company reported successful Q1 2025 results surpassing market expectations thanks to the strong demand for their software segment. However, there have been concerns over the impact of tariffs and DOGE cuts on IBM’s revenues, with Morgan Stanley lowering their expectation for IBM's stock price. Despite their federal business accounting for less than 5%, the reduction in DOGE-related spending might have a limited impact on IBM's consulting sector. Still, IBM has maintained significance as a reliable investment choice due to its low PE ratios, increasing dividends, and notably its strategic position to benefit from advancements in AI. Several institutional investors are also adjusting their positions in IBM, with large numbers of shares bought and sold. Furthermore, the company has shown potential as top consulting stock among hedge funds, trending among investors, and signalling increases in AI demand across enterprises. The recent acquisition of Hakkoda will enhance IBM’s AI consulting and data transformation capacities. IBM is also expanding semiconductor research with Tokyo Electron Partnership initiating AI Integration Services targeted at accelerating enterprise automation.
