IBM: Signs of a turnaround afoot

IBM reported its financial results last night. While earnings were inline, revenue misses in its legacy businesses sent the shares down 6% in trading. Nevertheless, we believe IBM is poised to move higher as the company returns to revenue growth in 2020-2021. Its newly acquired business, Red Hat, posted accelerating revenue growth in its first quarter under IBM and should get much bigger as IBM cross sells its products through its massive sales channel. As well, improving employee reviews of the company highlight a culture changing for the better. With low expectations and low valuation, IBM is an attractive tech holding in a volatile market.

Generally, the more profitable growth companies were able to withstand the volatile markets, but several high-profile growth-at-any-cost stocks (See Figure 1) suffered peak-to-trough pullbacks of 35-40%. With year-to-date gains still strong, long-term investors in high growth stocks are likely barely batting an eye, but the strong IPO slate in the first half of 2019 likely brought an influx of investor interest and new money into the sector.

AUGUST PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Ante Up!

Trade and tariff concerns escalated in early August as the Trump Administration raised the stakes with a new round of tariffs on Chinese goods and an escalation of existing tariffs.
