US Top News and Analysis | IBM shares turn lower as company beats but opts to maintain guidance

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

IBM reported stronger‑than‑expected first‑quarter results, with revenue rising 9% year‑over‑year to $15.92 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.91 versus the $1.81 consensus. Software revenue grew 11% to $7.05 billion, consulting rose 4% to $5.27 billion, and infrastructure hit $3.33 billion, outpacing expectations, while mainframe hardware saw a 51% jump driven by the z17 system. The company reaffirmed its full‑year guidance, projecting over 5% constant‑currency revenue growth and a $1 billion increase in free cash flow for 2026, and noted that the recent $11 billion acquisition of data‑streaming firm Confluent should help lift operating pre‑tax margins by about 1%. Despite the beat, IBM shares slipped roughly 6% in extended trading and are down about 15% year‑to‑date, contrasted with a 4% rise in the S&P 500.

Hey Mastodon!

Is there someone in my feed who has recently taken Confluent Certified Developer for Apache Kafka (CCDAK)? I'm planning to take the exam in the next following weeks, but I seriously struggle to find any example questions on KRaft (and I'm an anxious type, so I'd better be over prepared).

So if you know someone, please share tips and guides with me, I would really appreciate it. If you don't - please boost, and maybe I'll be able to find someone!

Da hat sich jemand bei #LinkedIn "identifizieren" lassen um das nette blauen Häckchen zu bekommen.

Was das mit #Anthropic, #OpenAI, #GrowCloud, #AWS, #GCP, #ResistantAI, #FingerprintJS, #Mongodb, #Snowflake, #Elasticsearch, #Confluent, #DBT, #SigmaComputing, #Tableau, #Stripe und #Twillo zu tun hat?

"I handed a US company my #passport, my #face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases. They’ll use my #documents to train their AI. And if the US government comes knocking, they’ll hand it all over — even if it’s stored in #Europe, even if I’m European, and possibly without ever telling me."
