IBM investors who relied on the Company’s projected Software and Infrastructure segment growth rates and stability faced losses after IBM reported preliminary second-quarter 2026 results and shares fell nearly 25%.
NEW YORK, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 14, 2026, International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) shares fell more than 24% after IBM released preliminary second-quarter 2026 results well-below market expectations. IBM investors who suffered losses are encouraged to submit their loss information now.
On April 22, 2026, IBM’s Chief Financial Officer, James J. Kavanaugh, told investors to expect the “accelerating Software business … to grow 10-plus percent this year,” and that management “prudently continue[d] to expect Infrastructure revenue to be down low single digits this year.”
By July 14, 2026, results had fallen well shy of these projections. Revenue of $17.2 billion was up only 1% on the back of a 5% increase in Software revenue, shy of growth expectations. On the other side of the coin, Infrastructure revenue fell 7% by the preliminary report, a faster fall than the Company had projected only one quarter before.
