IBM Stock Soars on AI, Cloud and Quantum Momentum
IBM’s headquarters in Armonk, N.Y., is at the center of the company’s growing focus on AI and cloud computing. In late October 2025, the stock was trading in the high $200s (about $287/share on Oct. 22) after strong third‑quarter results. The 2025 rally (up ~30% YTD) reflects renewed investor enthusiasm under CEO Arvind Krishna’s strategy, but the after‑hours selloff shows that even good news can trigger profit‑taking. In its Oct. 22 earnings release (Q3 FY2025), IBM reported revenue of $16.33 billion, up 9% from a year earlier. Adjusted net income was $2.5 billion, or $2.65 per share, ahead of Wall Street targets.
