Full year outlook and expert’s remarks

For the full year, IBM continues to see mid-single-digit increase in revenue. It now forecasts $10 billion in free cash flow versus up to $10.5 billion it had guided for earlier. The lowered figure reflects a $200 million hit from bailing on Russia, inflation, and “foreign exchange”.

In comparison, experts anticipate a 5.6% increase in full-year revenue. Reacting to the earnings report on CNBC-jev “Zvono za zatvaranje: Produžetak”, Larry Cordisco iz Osterweis Capital Managementa rekao je:

Overall, the earnings report looks really good. We have a lot of confidence in the fundamental turnaround in IBM; how they’re leveraging Red Hat, which is point of the spear for this company. It’s so cheap. There’s so much disbelief about the 3-to-5-year story that this is not a bad place to be building a position.
