IBM (NYSE:IBM) slides as SEC data point to 24% hit in key mainframe, support units

IBM (NYSE:IBM) slides as SEC data point to 24% hit in key mainframe, support units

International Business Machines Corporation shares dropped 25.2% Tuesday after early results came up short of estimates. A breakdown of IBM’s segment numbers shows a bigger issue: IBM Z mainframes and Infrastructure Support may have fallen about 24% from a year ago. Distributed infrastructure rose 37%, but that wasn’t enough to keep the hardware unit in growth.

Wall Street eyes margins again as 5.8-point PPI gap stands out before open

Wall Street will eye a 5.8-point gap in Wednesday’s premarket as producer price data comes in.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Heads for $40 Billion Cash-Conversion Mark on July 29

Microsoft heads toward its July 29 earnings with bulls saying the recent drop and lower valuation may clear the way for a bounce. The question is how quickly AI demand will show up in cash flow versus heavy spending. Management projects Q4 capital expenditures of more than $40 billion with revenue between $86.7 billion and $87.8 billion. That puts capex at least 45.8% of sales, using the midpoint. The market wants evidence.

U.S. CPI’s housing slowdown, not gasoline slide, is June’s key Fed signal

U.S. CPI’s housing slowdown, not gasoline slide, is June’s key Fed signal

U.S. consumer prices posted their largest monthly fall since April 2020 in June, but the more durable signal for investors came from housing: shelter costs rose just 0.1%, their weakest increase in more than five years. Because housing makes up more than one-third of the index, its slowdown does more to ease underlying inflation pressure than the headline decline alone. Housing is the stickier signal.

AMD’s New $675 Target Hits as Market Watches 320 Million Shares

Advanced Micro Devices dropped 3.7% in late trading Monday, despite TD Cowen’s Joshua Buchalter hiking his price target to $675 from $600. The new target, which is about 25.7% above the stock’s current $537 level, puts AMD’s estimated equity value near $1.10 trillion if you use the company’s 1.6306 billion shares outstanding. That’s about $225 billion higher than today’s value by the same measure.
