The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- IBM closes above its 50-day average ($235.58) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($248.95): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $256.35, IBM is 22.9% below its 1-year high of $332.46, set on June 2, 2026, and 28.7% above its 1-year low of $199.19 (July 23, 2026).
- Over the past month IBM rose 15.1%, from $222.64 to $256.35.
- IBM trades at 21.9x its last twelve months of earnings and 19.4x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 12.9% higher.
- Its P/E is 12.9% above the 19.4x median of the 3 other it services companies we track (ACN, CTSH, IT).
- IBM's 30-day volatility, 22.7% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.4%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.76: over five years of monthly returns, IBM moved about 0.76% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 0.3x IBM's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $235.58 (−8.1%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 5.7% to cross the 200-day at $248.95.
- A close above $332.46 (+29.7%) would be a new 1-year high; below $199.19 (−22.3%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for IBM, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under it services among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for IBM by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
