Filed under: Newsletters, International Business Machines (IBM), Stocks to Buy  "Earnings prospects for companies in the information technology (IT) sector are surprisingly resilient, and one of the best-placed and most recession-resistant IT stocks is IBM (NYSE: IBM)," notes Elliott Gue.
In Personal Finance, he adds, "In the recession of 2001, tech stocks were among the hardest hit groups in the S&P 500, but that was mainly a hangover from the technology bubble of the late 1990s that saw many big-cap tech firms soar to unprecedented valuation levels. <>"The tech sector today bears no resemblance...

The market already knows that the financials of IBM will take a hit after the acquisition of SUN But the acquisition would be good for IBM as they grab hold of the shrinking enterprise hardware market! no one buys big servers anymore...IBM will have a better chance at the next innovation curve to save its floundering systems business and get back in the market In other news: So Africa is a new outsourcing destination, gives good hope to internationally poor locations with criminal history and other believers in sinking megaliths like IBM and outsourcing!

Filed under: Earnings reports, International Business Machines (IBM), Bargain stocks, Stocks to Buy, Recession Investors are a crazy lot. They pay huge premiums for stocks that do little but offer hollow promises and huge losses during bull markets. As long as sentiment is positive and the economy is growing, throwing caution to the wind comes easily. Then, when things go boom and the market tanks, taking sentiment with it, investors put cash under their mattresses. <>So here we are in the midst of the worst recession of my generation, and possibly the worst since the Great Depression, and the ...

IBM's business model is fading as cloud computing begins its life. Over the next decade, we should see more and more companies putting applications onto the web, and IBM will not likely be a leader in this category, due to strength of companies like CRM and GOOG.

Google and CRM are about as y...

earnings growth rate of 10.12% implies a projected stock price of
$146.86.
IBM has a projected P/E of 11.7x while the industry has an average
projected P/E of 22.1x, implying a projected stock price of $214.96.
