IBM (IBM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
IBM (IBM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
IBM demonstrates a positive financial outlook, driven primarily by expected growth in its software portfolio, with projections indicating a growth rate of 10% or higher in constant currency, supported by revenue synergies from HashiCorp and the AI software segment. The company anticipates a revenue growth rate of 5.2% CAGR from 2024 to 2027, underpinned by robust performance in its Red Hat offerings and a notable momentum in hybrid cloud and AI capabilities. Additionally, IBM's Infrastructure-as-a-Service is forecasted to grow significantly, while improving gross and pre-tax margins further strengthens the expectation for enhanced market valuation in the coming years.
Bears say
IBM faces a negative outlook primarily due to macroeconomic uncertainties and the potential for reduced IT spending, which could significantly impact revenue growth. The company's growth projections have already been affected by currency fluctuations, anticipated to lower its 2025 revenue growth rate by approximately 2%. Additionally, increased competition and a lack of adaptability to changing customer needs pose further risks, as high customer churn and declining retention rates could hinder business performance.
