IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) held its Think 2025 event in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45259042/ibm-thinks-big-ai-delivers-bigger-why-bulls-are-charging-toward-300">Boston on Tuesday. </a> 
The key takeaway from the event is the company's portfolio of software products and services being "integral to large enterprise customers as they leverage AI across their organizations," according to Goldman Sachs.
The IBM Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5805f8a2846faa000106ab15/james-schneider">Analyst James Schneider</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $270.
The IBM Thesis: The company launched LinuxONE 5, which enables 450 billion secure AI inference operations per day, Schneider said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The company also introduced an upgraded watsonx.data, which taps unstructured data to increase accuracy of AI agents, he added.
"CEO Arvind Krishna noted that AI is shifting from experimentation to delivering measurable business value, with an emphasis on productivity and cost efficiency," the analyst wrote.
IBM projected that AI agents could power 30% of the one billion new applications by 2028, he further stated.
By applying its AI solutions internally, the company can "support ongoing margin expansion and FCF growth &#8211; even as it executes on M&amp;A," Schneider said.
IBM Price Action: Shares of IBM were up 1.1% to $252.02 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Reiteration

IBM's AI Push Takes Center Stage At Think 2025, Goldman Sees Path To Margin Growth

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reiterates IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) with a Outperform and maintains $300 price target.

Wedbush Reiterates Outperform on IBM, Maintains $300 Price Target

IBM's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) stock is strutting like it owns the runway. Up 48% in the past year and 13% just this year, the legacy tech giant is flexing serious momentum and the charts are confirming it.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0507"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="633" height="488" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/07082641/Screenshot-2025-05-07-at-5.56.20-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-905522" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/07082641/Screenshot-2025-05-07-at-5.56.20-PM.png 633w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/07082641/Screenshot-2025-05-07-at-5.56.20-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0507">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Trading at $249.12, IBM stock sits comfortably above its five, 20 and 50-day moving averages, with a bullish MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) and RSI (relative strength index) suggesting there's still gas in the tank. Technical traders call it &#8216;strongly bullish.&#8217; Bulls call it a &#8220;no-brainer."
But IBM isn't just riding the AI wave &#8211; it's building the surfboard. At the IBM Think conference in Boston, analysts came away impressed with the company's laser-focused AI and hybrid cloud strategy.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Dan Ives Is &#8216;Incrementally More Bullish&#8217; On IBM</h2>
Wedbush's Dan Ives is going full throttle, reiterating an Outperform rating and setting a $300 price target. He left the event "incrementally more bullish," noting IBM's sprawling AI use cases, including 70+ AI-infused workflows and over $5B already tied to its generative AI business.
The Z17 mainframe is back in the spotlight, Watsonx Orchestrate lets users build AI agents in minutes, and management is even cozying up with Meta to potentially integrate into the Llama LLM stack. As Ives puts it, IBM's stack is "built for the enterprise AI revolution."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Says IBM Is Leading By Example</h2>
JPMorgan's Brian Essex is more measured, holding a Neutral rating, but even he admits IBM is leading by example. He highlighted IBM's internal AI efforts, which have saved $3.5 billion, automating everything from HR to financial forecasting, and proving it&#8217;s not just selling AI—it's living it.
With HashiCorp integration unlocking hybrid automation and a bet on small models paying off, IBM seems determined to reinvent enterprise tech one AI agent at a time.
IBM isn't your grandfather's tech stock anymore. It's leaner, smarter and increasingly essential in the AI-powered future of enterprise.
Don't be surprised if $300 is just the next pit stop.

U.S. stock futures fell on Tuesday after snapping a nine-day winning streak on the S&amp;P 500 index. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
After a remarkable 20-year high winning streak, the S&amp;P 500 saw stocks decline on Monday. This reversal was triggered by two key statements from President Donald Trump: his proposal for a 100% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45201601/trump-wants-movies-made-in-america-again-heres-what-tariffs-on-films-could-mean-for-disney-netflix-stock">foreign-made films</a> and his announcement that he would not be discussing trade with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week. 
Investors are keeping an eye on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision on interest rates, which is slated to be announced on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.36% and the two-year bond was at 3.81%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 96.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
WisdomTree senior economist Jeremy Siegel highlights the positive impact of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213790/us-dollar-depreciation-is-cushioning-the-impact-of-tariffs-on-corporate-profits-says-expert-heres-how">U.S. dollar&#8217;s decline</a> on multinational earnings this year.
In his weekly commentary, he points out that roughly half of the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s revenue is generated internationally, a factor he believes can mitigate the adverse effects of tariffs on corporate profits.
As Siegel states, "With 40-45% of S&amp;P 500 revenues sourced abroad, that currency translation effect alone could cushion the impact of tariffs on corporate profits."
He further suggests that, "This, alongside hopes of deal-making and eventual tariff de-escalation, is underpinning the market&#8217;s recovery."
Moreover, Siegel remains optimistic about stocks, explaining that markets often overreact to recessions.
He argues, "While earnings may drop if the economy turns south, the long-horizon value of equities should not fall 20–25%, as often happens. If investors finally look beyond the valley into the mountain, the downside could be limited even in a mild recession."
As the Federal Reserve is projected to keep the interest rates steady after the Wednesday&#8217;s meeting, Cooper Howard, director, fixed income strategy at the Schwab Center for Financial Research said, &#8220;The market&#8217;s pricing in between three and four cuts prior to the year-end, but that's aggressive unless the labor market shows further signs of slowing.&#8221;

Wall Street suffered a reality check during the midweek session, with reports coming in that the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/45108426/as-growth-falters-sentiment-slips-economist-says-risks-to-the-economic-outlook-are-increasing">economy contracted for the first time</a> in three years during the beginning of 2025. 
This period coincided with a surge of imports arriving ahead of President Donald Trump's tariffs, which landed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">GDP in negative territory</a> in the first quarter. While the news pushed market indices into the red, tech giant IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) eked out a gain.
It could be a sample of potential narratives that may soon materialize into the present realm. While tech will almost certainly be a place where businesses look to make some budget cuts — along with other areas — there's a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/03/44501515/cybersecurity-stocks-to-outperform-its-the-one-line-item-that-no-company-in-the-world-is-cutting-josh-brown">certain floor</a> when it comes to the broader IT machinery that cannot be touched. Not too long ago, Ritholtz Wealth Management's Josh Brown made a compelling argument about the cybersecurity sector.
Essentially, modern companies can't take the corporate chainsaw to certain digital infrastructural components that keep the entire machinery running. To cut cybersecurity, according to Brown, represents an "out-of-business risk."
Brown pointed to the bankruptcy of 23andMe Holding Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEHCQ#OTC">MEHCQ</a>) as an example of the dire consequences of neglecting cybersecurity resilience. The same lesson can be applied to the broader IT machinery, IBM's stronghold. Therefore, even amid the worrying macro environment, IBM stock offers reasonable insulation.
In addition, the company nicknamed Big Blue recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45079132/whats-going-on-with-ibm-stock-today">bumped up its regular quarterly cash dividend</a> to $1.68 per share. This increase is scheduled for payment on June 10, 2025, to shareholders on record as of May 9.
Notably, the dividend boost marks the 30th consecutive year the tech giant has raised its dividend. The company has also maintained a streak of uninterrupted payouts since 1916, thus reinforcing the economic resilience narrative.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Demand Swing Incoming for IBM Stock</h1>
On surface level, IBM stock appears to represent a technical discount. Relative to its February closing high, the security is down by approximately 9%. At the same time, using price to project future price movements is a haphazard approach. Since price is a scalar, continuous signal, it offers no fundamental meaning.
In other words, price and demand are not the same thing. Price is merely the recording of when demand was exercised and the actual figure could theoretically be anything. In contrast, demand is a defined, discrete event. It's either happening or it's not. There are no half-demand states of existence.
Put another way, for any given trading session, the market makes a choice: it's either a net buyer, in which case demand rises, or it's not a net buyer, in which case supply rises. It's not so much about the magnitude and price point of bullishness that matters, but whether, at a particular point in time, investors saw enough of a reason to place their capital at risk.
For IBM stock, the last 10 weeks have been bearishly dominated, resulting in a "3-7" sequence: three weeks up, seven weeks down, with a negative trajectory across the period. Granted, the one-week upside probability following the 3-7 sequence only mildly favors the bulls at 51.22%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-895740" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30153112/IBM-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
However, the key with IBM stock is demand resilience. In the past three years, IBM has not been able to print a consecutive 10-week series where down weeks outnumber up weeks. For example, about a year ago, IBM posted a 3-7 sequence. Subsequently, investors responded with a 6-4 and 8-2 sequence before a stalemate 5-5 sequence.
No, obviously, IBM stock is not immune to downside. However, when the pessimism is prolonged, the bulls tend to respond like clockwork.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">An Aggressive Play on Big Blue</h1>
What's beautiful about IBM stock is that it's a hybrid opportunity. 
For those seeking income-generating shelter amid the possible economic storm, Big Blue offers an attractive idea within the tech ecosystem. At the same time, it also offers the potential — with the leverage of multi-leg options strategies — to take small gains and convert them to giant payouts.
Consider the 242.50/245 bull call spread expiring May 16 as a prime example. This transaction involves buying the $242.50 call and simultaneously selling the $245 call, for a net debit paid of $126. Should IBM stock rise through the short strike price of $245 at expiration, the maximum reward is $124, or a payout of over 98%.
The above options strategy is attractive because if IBM stock follows the projected positive pathway over the next three weeks, it should land near the $250 mark. That should provide an extra few bucks of safety margin relative to the short strike price.

The companies emphasized the importance of responsible AI. &#8220;We&#8217;re empowering enterprises to harness AI responsibly and at scale,&#8221; said Aaron Levie, Box&#8217;s CEO.
Rob Thomas, IBM&#8217;s senior vice president of Software, highlighted the partnership&#8217;s goal to embed AI seamlessly into operational workflows to enhance productivity.
The Box AI with IBM watsonx solution is now available to Box Enterprise Advanced customers through Box AI Studio and APIs.
