On June 3, IBM fell 3.01% in after-hours trading, trading at $298.8/share, with trading volume of $78.16 million. The decline extends intraday selling pressure as the stock continues to pull back from its recent surge.
On the news front, IBM has accumulated approximately 40% in gains since May, triggering sustained profit-taking as bulls chose to lock in gains. Despite multiple analyst upgrades — Wedbush Securities raised its target price from $320 to $350 reiterating an Outperform rating, and Citigroup lifted its target from $285 to $375 — the outsized prior rally continues to weigh on sentiment. Wedbush noted that AI is delivering incremental tailwinds and that IBM's quantum computing positioning remains undervalued by investors. IBM previously disclosed plans to invest over $10 billion in quantum computing over the next five years, targeting the world's first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029, supported by approximately $1 billion in funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
