AI & Quantum Frenzy Propels IBM Stock to New Heights – Will the Rally Last?
IBM shares closed near $308 on Oct. 29, 2025, up about 30% year-to-date after AI and quantum computing breakthroughs and a Q3 earnings beat. Revenue jumped 9% to $16.33 billion, but growth in its Hybrid Cloud unit slowed, triggering a 5% after-hours drop. IBM now trades at 24–25× forward earnings, with a 2.3% dividend yield. Analyst sentiment remains mixed.
