IBM shares recorded a notable rise of 0.8 percent in the latest trading session in New York, reaching a price of $310.61. This represents a positive development, especially given that the stock is currently trading 2.74 percent below its 52-week high of $319.35. The trading day began at $306.65 and a total of 238,974 shares were traded.
On October 29, 2025, IBM shares reached their highest level in a year at $319.35. This shows the potential of the stock, despite the challenges in the market. Analysts have set a price target of $236.00, indicating a cautious assessment of future developments. Nevertheless, the stock remains attractive for many investors, particularly due to IBM’s solid dividend policy.
In 2024, IBM shareholders received a dividend of $6.67, and a slight increase to $6.69 is expected for the current year. This dividend policy contributes to the stability of the share and makes it interesting for long-term investors. The most recent quarterly results, released on October 22, 2025, showed earnings per share of $1.84, a significant improvement from the year-ago quarter which reported a loss of $0.36 per share.
IBM’s revenue rose 9.11 percent to $16.33 billion in the quarter, compared to $14.97 billion in the same period last year. This increase in sales underlines the successful implementation of IBM’s business strategy and the positive response to its products and services. The fourth quarter 2025 financial results are scheduled to be released on January 27, 2026, and analysts expect full-year earnings per share of $11.35.
Market reaction to recent developments at IBM has been mixed. While the sales and profit increases are welcomed, there are concerns about the performance of Red Hat, a key IBM subsidiary. These uncertainties could impact future stock price performance, although IBM’s overall strategy remains focused on growth and innovation.
