IBM Stock Forecast: Why IBM Is Still A Buy
The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.
Summary:
- International Business Machines’ stock already touts a year-to-date return of +23.90%. I am still endorsing it as a buy.
- I am highly confident that the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition will boost IBM’s revenue performance going forward.
- Red Hat can further fortify IBM’s huge presence in the $310.2 billion annual enterprise application software market.
- IBM has a decades-long partnership with multinational banks. I see this niche market of financial/banking services software as a long-term tailwind.
- Compared to its software industry peers, IBM is notably undervalued.
