IBM revenue grows for second straight quarter, cheering investors

IBM revenue grows for second straight quarter, cheering investors SHARE IBM Corp. provided the best evidence yet today that it’s back on a growth track, reporting second-quarter revenue rose 3% from a year ago. Revenue of $18.75 billion was actually flat when adjusted for currency fluctuations and divested businesses, but it was still well ahead of analysts’ estimates of $18.29 billion. Adjusted earnings rose 7% from a year ago, to $2.33 a share, slightly better than analysts’ estimates of $2.31 a share. It was IBM’s second straight quarter of revenue growth, something that has been in short supply for the computing giant lately. Prior to the first quarter, IBM had reported declining revenue for four quarters in a row and 30 of the past 34 quarters.

IBM s 3% sales growth may not seem like much but it s the biggest it s had in three years

Copy IBM on Monday reported better than anticipated revenue for Q2 2021, sending its shares up in after-hours trading. Big Blue, evidently unfazed by a multi-week email disruption that s still not entirely resolved, delivered sales totaling $18.7bn for the quarter, an increase of three per cent year over year. It s the strongest revenue growth for the biz in three years. Net income, however, fell by three per cent to $1.3bn for the quarter. That translates to non-GAAP adjusted earnings of $2.33 per share, seven per cent more than the $2.18 reported during the same period in 2020. Analysts on average expected something more like $18.3bn and diluted EPS of $2.29.
