IBM (NYSE:IBM) Q2 miss exposes the cost of the AI hardware rush

IBM (NYSE:IBM) Q2 miss exposes the cost of the AI hardware rush

International Business Machines shares slid about 17% before Tuesday’s opening bell after preliminary second-quarter sales and adjusted earnings missed forecasts.

AMC Stock’s $200 Million Lifeline Buys Time—but Its Fee Tops a Year of Interest Savings

AMC Entertainment Holdings last traded at $1.87 after Monday’s U.S. market close, about 11% below the $2.10 paid by institutional investors in its June share sale. The sharper balance-sheet signal is that the deal’s roughly $11 million placement fee exceeds a full year of the $7.7 million in cash interest AMC says it will save by retiring debt; market commentator Jim Cramer said the turnaround had a “limited shelf life because the balance sheet was heinous.”
