Whether the tactic makes a meaningful change in the overall valuation of IBM will be an interesting case study.

This creates unnecessary taxes for shareholders while the company's payout ratio and debt ratios deteriorate—a pointless, lose-lose situation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fe790a96a6683b2f1a0704eebe48ff8f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts IBM Financials</span></p>\n<p><b>IBM Financials</b></p>\n<p>Here is IBM's revenue, (trailing 12 months by quarter) over the last 10 years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23b9826ec419f86a8ceabaaadfeee6a6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Now here's a look at IBM's operating margins, again for the last 10 years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f9cd7d5bc1e17fe0d818f5ff86e0238\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>And IBM's debt load.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf23d4b9026a4201b443db26491d106a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Looking at IBM's&nbsp;balance sheet and income statement&nbsp;shows an unambiguous picture of a business in decline. This has been known for a long time. It's likely only a matter of time before the 4.7 percent dividend yield comes under pressure. Despite this, there are some signs of a turnaround.

One wild card here is how the debt for the two companies is split up. There is going to be a temptation to place more of the debt in Kyndryl to turn the new IBM into a star performer. This is the stuff of corporate law firms who make a lot more money per hour than I do, but my feeling is that the long-term bonds issued by IBM probably are going to have to be guaranteed by both companies going forward in some capacity, depending on the debt covenants.

After the spinoff, I would expect high-single-digit annual returns for IBM proper and low-single-digit negative returns for Kyndryl. These would be subject to the valuations of both companies, but that's my best estimate at this point. What are your thoughts?

The vaccine maker's shares have soared more than 360% so far this year. And that comes on top of the 434% gain in 2020.</p>\n<p>That kind of performance tends to attract investors' attention -- and deservedly so.

None other than Moderna itself.</p>\n<h2>Investing heavily</h2>\n<p>Moderna stated in its second-quarter update that its board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1 billion. Don't expect the company to spend all that money at one time, though. The authorized funds can be used over a two-year period to buy back shares.</p>\n<p>Actually, Moderna has invested and will invest a lot more than just $1 billion in its business. CFO David Meline noted in the company's Q2 conference call that Moderna more than tripled its research and development spending year over year in the first half of 2021. He said to expect significantly increased R&amp;D investments going forward.</p>\n<p>In addition, Moderna plans to make between $450 million and $550 million this year in capital investments. These investments include a major expansion of capacity to be able to manufacture up to 3 billion doses of its COVID-19 vaccine in 2022. The company is also investing in technology improvements and beefing up its global commercial operations.</p>\n<h2>Why buy back shares?</h2>\n<p>Probably the most important reason why Moderna is preparing to invest so much in itself is that the company's management team is very confident in its business prospects. CEO Stéphane Bancel said in the Q2 call, \"We are very optimistic about the future of Moderna and we are just getting started.\"</p>\n<p>Another reason why Moderna is ready to spend up to $1 billion in stock buybacks is that it's likely going to have more cash than it knows what to do with. The company ended the second quarter with a cash stockpile of $12.2 billion. That amount will almost certainly continue to grow.</p>\n<p>Moderna expects to rake in $20 billion in sales from its COVID-19 vaccine this year. It already has advance purchase agreements worth $12 billion plus another $8 billion in options for next year.</p>\n<p>Repurchasing shares is actually Moderna's third investment priority. The company first wants to reinvest in its base business, which includes the aforementioned increased R&amp;D and capital spending. Moderna also is interested in expanding its pipeline through business development, deals including licensing and acquisitions.</p>\n<p>Moderna's board seems to think that the company will still have plenty of money left over after investing in those two top priorities. Based on the company's revenue projections, it should easily be able to spare $1 billion for stock buybacks.</p>\n<h2>A good bet?</h2>\n<p>Just because Moderna <i>can</i> spend $1 billion on share repurchases doesn't mean that it <i>should</i> do so. I don't think Moderna should make that $1 billion bet in buying back shares.&nbsp;My view is that stock buybacks at Moderna's current valuation (or anywhere close to it) would be ill-advised.</p>\n<p>Of course, Moderna could wait to buy back shares only on pullbacks.&nbsp;However, unless its shares plunge significantly, I think that Moderna would better serve its shareholders by making a strategic acquisition with the $1 billion than buying its own richly priced shares.</p>\n<p>The company needs to be able to generate growth after the worst of the pandemic ends.

White asserts that “the company’s growth path is very attractive across the e-commerce segment, AWS, digital media, advertising, Alexa and more.” White maintains his Buy rating and $4,500 target price.\nOn Wednesday, Amazon shares were up 0.1%, to $3,630.32.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":104,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809695705,"gmtCreate":1627363429607,"gmtModify":1703488422852,"author":{"id":"3576720131456704","authorId":"3576720131456704","name":"StephanieCCH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92b6ecf9837c466df852858bfcbddfdf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"NIO","listText":"NIO","text":"NIO","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809695705","repostId":"1150818931","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150818931","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627309255,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1150818931?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-26 22:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EV stocks surged in Monday morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150818931","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"EV stocks surged in Monday morning trading.Lucid Motors spikes 12%,Xpeng Motors and Li Auto jumped 4","content":"<p>EV stocks surged in Monday morning trading.Lucid Motors spikes&nbsp;12%,Xpeng Motors and Li Auto&nbsp;jumped&nbsp;4%,Tesla&nbsp;and&nbsp;Nio&nbsp;rose&nbsp;2%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68b40eae8375c009ccfbb5d7183d05ce\" tg-width=\"354\" tg-height=\"476\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Here investors can avoid a lot of the noise and pitfalls that can come with simply looking at a company's income statement, such as investment-related gains that help disguise bad bottom lines or low-margin revenue growth. There's not much to hide with respect to cash -- it either increased or it didn't. And the statement of cash flow shows you how that happened.</p>\n<p>Three companies that are doing exceptionally well with regard to generating positive free cash are <b>Align Technology&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:ALGN),&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WDAY\">Workday</a>&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:WDAY), and&nbsp;<b>Activision Blizzard&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:ATVI). And with all of these businesses growing, there's likely more of the green stuff on the way.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F639290%2Fpeople-reviewing-a-chart.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Align Technology</h2>\n<p>Align Technology makes a variety of dentistry products, most notably its Invisalign clear aligners, which are more convenient than braces. The company makes strong margins on the products that not only help it turn a profit but generate significant cash too. Over the past two quarters, the company reported $1.4 billion in gross profit on sales of $1.9 billion, for a gross margin of 75%. And that, in turn, helped the company net $400 million in profit.</p>\n<p>What's even more impressive is that on revenue of $3.4 billion over the past 12 months, Align has generated free cash flow of $895 million -- which is some 26% of revenue. The company has consistently produced strong cash flow, and its 2020 free cash of $507 million was more than double the $243 million it brought in just three years earlier.</p>\n<p>One of the benefits of a company that generates so much cash is it can return cash to investors. While Align doesn't pay a dividend, earlier this year its board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program worth up to $1 billion, which allows repurchases to be made over the next three years.</p>\n<p>In the past year, the stock has risen more than 120%, outperforming the&nbsp;<b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s 32% gains by a wide margin. And it's easy to see why the company is a hit with investors. In its most recent quarterly results for the period ending June 30, Align's sales nearly tripled to $1 billion, and the company projects that its top line in 2021 will rise by up to 60% from the previous year. With growth like that, this healthcare stock could continue to climb even higher.</p>\n<h2>2. Workday</h2>\n<p>Workday makes cloud-based applications that can save businesses time and money through automation.

Here investors can avoid a lot of the noise and pitfalls that can come with simply looking at a company's income statement, such as investment-related gains that help disguise bad bottom lines or low-margin revenue growth. There's not much to hide with respect to cash -- it either increased or it didn't. And the statement of cash flow shows you how that happened.\nThree companies that are doing exceptionally well with regard to generating positive free cash are Align Technology (NASDAQ:ALGN), Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY), and Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI). And with all of these businesses growing, there's likely more of the green stuff on the way.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Align Technology\nAlign Technology makes a variety of dentistry products, most notably its Invisalign clear aligners, which are more convenient than braces. The company makes strong margins on the products that not only help it turn a profit but generate significant cash too. Over the past two quarters, the company reported $1.4 billion in gross profit on sales of $1.9 billion, for a gross margin of 75%. And that, in turn, helped the company net $400 million in profit.\nWhat's even more impressive is that on revenue of $3.4 billion over the past 12 months, Align has generated free cash flow of $895 million -- which is some 26% of revenue. The company has consistently produced strong cash flow, and its 2020 free cash of $507 million was more than double the $243 million it brought in just three years earlier.\nOne of the benefits of a company that generates so much cash is it can return cash to investors. While Align doesn't pay a dividend, earlier this year its board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program worth up to $1 billion, which allows repurchases to be made over the next three years.\nIn the past year, the stock has risen more than 120%, outperforming the S&P 500's 32% gains by a wide margin. And it's easy to see why the company is a hit with investors. In its most recent quarterly results for the period ending June 30, Align's sales nearly tripled to $1 billion, and the company projects that its top line in 2021 will rise by up to 60% from the previous year. With growth like that, this healthcare stock could continue to climb even higher.\n2. Workday\nWorkday makes cloud-based applications that can save businesses time and money through automation. At first glance, the business may not look that great on a cash basis given that it consistently posts losses. But a significant chunk of its expenses is paid out through stock-based compensation. In the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, Workday's stock-based compensation totaled more than $1 billion. Too many share issues can be problematic for a company and can drive down the share price in the process.\nHowever, Workday's share-based compensation has been relatively stable with respect to revenue; over the past three years, it has come in at around 23% of its top line.For a company that's growing, all that dilution hasn't had a terribly negative impact for shareholders -- the stock has nearly matched the S&P 500, up 29% in the past year.\nThe model won't work for all situations, but with the business generating 19% sales growth last fiscal year and the top line up 53% in two years, Workday has been a solid growth stock. The company expects 17% growth in its subscription revenue this year, which accounts for the vast majority (88%) of revenue.\nStrong revenue growth, combined with using stock-based compensation, allowed the company to net free cash flow of $1 billion last fiscal year, which represents 23% of revenue. Although it still results in dilution, stock-based compensation can provide the business some flexibility -- and at the same time give investors a bit more predictability in earnings with potentially fewer surprising share issues along the way.\nAs businesses continue to move more of their operations to the cloud, a company like Workday could see more demand for its products and services in the future, making it an attractive growth stock to buy. Plus, with $3 billion in cash and marketable securities on its books as of the end of April, the company has plenty of options should it want to make a big splash with an acquisition.\n3. Activision\nActivision is the popular gaming company behind such popular titles as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. It benefits from a loyal fanbase, which translates into consistency and growth. Even though investors may be down on stay-at-home stocks with the economy opening back up, Activision has continued to do remarkably well.\nWhen it released its second-quarter results on Aug. 3, the company reported revenue of $2.3 billion for the period ending June 30, which was not only higher than the $1.9 billion it reported a year earlier, but also came in higher than its guidance, which called for revenue of $2.1 billion.

The company said it has a law firm reviewing its procedures to help address these issues, but its president and other senior executives have departed in the wake of this situation.\nWhile the bad press has hurt the stock -- news of an employee walkout last month helped send the stock to lows not seen since last year -- it's worth remembering that investors tend to have short memories. However, the issues appear to be systemic and could have lasting implications on the company's ability to attract and retain talented employees.\nIt remains to be seen whether this controversy will impact operations over the long-term.

However, over the past couple of decades, the company has struggled to compete with newer tech companies like Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN). As such, despite a futile decades-long effort to boost earnings per share via layoffs and debt-funded acquisitions and share buybacks, IBM has been unable to escape the&nbsp;reality of its declining revenue. As such, the market has slowly but surely punished IBM with a lower share price.</p>\n<p>IBM's management team has a new plan to turn it all around, and this time it just might work. The idea, spin-off the slow-growth parts of the business into a new company called Kyndryl while retaining high-growth divisions like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and software (including Red Hat) at IBM. Kyndryl is certainly an odd choice for a company name. The name sounds like a cross between some kind of comic book villain and the antihistamine drug Benadryl, but that's the new entity where IBM appears set to dump most of their underperforming businesses into. The deal is expected to close&nbsp;before year-end.</p>\n<p>The logic here is that the software and cloud business would be worth more as an independent company without being bogged down by a shrinking legacy business with ~100,000 employees. In other words, the investment bankers behind the deal would surely tell you that the sum should be worth more than the parts, but a lot of whether this deal works depends on the details. For example, how will the debt be split up among the companies? Will unprofitable divisions be closed, retained at IBM, or spun-off to the new company? IBM has said that they intend to maintain the dividend, but AT&amp;T(NYSE:T)was cornered by a lack of cash into breaking a similar promise with their&nbsp;recent spinoff announcement. We'll know more when Kyndryl files its initial Form 10 with the SEC. At least initially, the earnings power of the combined company should equal the sum of the two separate ones. Whether the tactic makes a meaningful change in the overall valuation of IBM will be an interesting case study. With this in mind, let's look at some financial and valuation metrics for IBM.</p>\n<p><b>IBM Stock Price</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09eee324f760e76c8ac959f7ee715b5e\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>IBM Stock PriceData by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, IBM has not been able to grow its share price with financial engineering. The picture improves when you look at IBM from a total return perspective, but companies that pay dividends out of retained earnings while the share price falls like IBM has are simply just machines for turning the return of initial shareholder capital into taxable dividends. This creates unnecessary taxes for shareholders while the company's payout ratio and debt ratios deteriorate—a pointless, lose-lose situation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fe790a96a6683b2f1a0704eebe48ff8f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts IBM Financials</span></p>\n<p><b>IBM Financials</b></p>\n<p>Here is IBM's revenue, (trailing 12 months by quarter) over the last 10 years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23b9826ec419f86a8ceabaaadfeee6a6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Now here's a look at IBM's operating margins, again for the last 10 years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f9cd7d5bc1e17fe0d818f5ff86e0238\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>And IBM's debt load.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf23d4b9026a4201b443db26491d106a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Looking at IBM's&nbsp;balance sheet and income statement&nbsp;shows an unambiguous picture of a business in decline. This has been known for a long time. It's likely only a matter of time before the 4.7 percent dividend yield comes under pressure. Despite this, there are some signs of a turnaround. The past couple of quarterly earnings came in higher than estimates, and the dividend should be covered by&nbsp;expected earnings of $10.70for this year (the dividend wasn't covered last year).</p>\n<p>For next year, analysts&nbsp;expect earnings of nearly $12, but their revenue estimates are far more subdued, calling for about only a two-percent increase. There are a lot of things that companies can do to make earnings temporarily better, but revenue and revenue per share are much harder numbers to smooth out. To this point, I don't love IBM's accounting, the whole thing has a feel to it like they're robbing Peter to pay Paul, every quarter, for years on end.</p>\n<p><b>Where Will IBM Be in 5 Years?</b></p>\n<p>One thing we know is that IBM is highly likely to be two companies instead of one. IBM itself could likely trade for a higher multiple, perhaps in line with the S&amp;P's P/E ratio in the low 20s, while Kyndryl is likely to trade somewhere below 10x earnings. Of the two, IBM is likely to be the better investment. I would expect that the earnings per share would slowly decline for Kyndryl while growing 5-10 percent annually for IBM. One wild card here is how the debt for the two companies is split up. There is going to be a temptation to place more of the debt in Kyndryl to turn the new IBM into a star performer. This is the stuff of corporate law firms who make a lot more money per hour than I do, but my feeling is that the long-term bonds issued by IBM probably are going to have to be guaranteed by both companies going forward in some capacity, depending on the debt covenants. Some&nbsp;recent debt covenant cases&nbsp;with Hewlett Packard(NYSE:HPQ)and Penn National(NASDAQ:PENN)are worth reading.</p>\n<p>Just ballparking the combined company and recent earnings, my best estimate for 5-year returns is 0-2 percent annually if you hold both. Kyndryl probably will have to cut its dividend at some point if revenue doesn't start growing, while IBM itself can grow earnings handsomely on the software side and could possibly become a dividend growth stock. After the spinoff, I would expect high-single-digit annual returns for IBM proper and low-single-digit negative returns for Kyndryl. These would be subject to the valuations of both companies, but that's my best estimate at this point. What are your thoughts?

The spinoff could be their last hope at returning to greatness.\nOf course, the devil will be in the details with the spinoff, which is expected to close before year end.\n\nSundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nCan IBM Grow?\nIBM(NYSE:IBM), formally known as International Business Machines Corporation, is one of America's oldest and most venerable technology companies. However, over the past couple of decades, the company has struggled to compete with newer tech companies like Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN). As such, despite a futile decades-long effort to boost earnings per share via layoffs and debt-funded acquisitions and share buybacks, IBM has been unable to escape the reality of its declining revenue. As such, the market has slowly but surely punished IBM with a lower share price.\nIBM's management team has a new plan to turn it all around, and this time it just might work. The idea, spin-off the slow-growth parts of the business into a new company called Kyndryl while retaining high-growth divisions like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and software (including Red Hat) at IBM. Kyndryl is certainly an odd choice for a company name. The name sounds like a cross between some kind of comic book villain and the antihistamine drug Benadryl, but that's the new entity where IBM appears set to dump most of their underperforming businesses into. The deal is expected to close before year-end.\nThe logic here is that the software and cloud business would be worth more as an independent company without being bogged down by a shrinking legacy business with ~100,000 employees. In other words, the investment bankers behind the deal would surely tell you that the sum should be worth more than the parts, but a lot of whether this deal works depends on the details. For example, how will the debt be split up among the companies? Will unprofitable divisions be closed, retained at IBM, or spun-off to the new company? IBM has said that they intend to maintain the dividend, but AT&T(NYSE:T)was cornered by a lack of cash into breaking a similar promise with their recent spinoff announcement. We'll know more when Kyndryl files its initial Form 10 with the SEC. At least initially, the earnings power of the combined company should equal the sum of the two separate ones. Whether the tactic makes a meaningful change in the overall valuation of IBM will be an interesting case study. With this in mind, let's look at some financial and valuation metrics for IBM.\nIBM Stock Price\nIBM Stock PriceData by YCharts\nAs mentioned earlier, IBM has not been able to grow its share price with financial engineering. The picture improves when you look at IBM from a total return perspective, but companies that pay dividends out of retained earnings while the share price falls like IBM has are simply just machines for turning the return of initial shareholder capital into taxable dividends. This creates unnecessary taxes for shareholders while the company's payout ratio and debt ratios deteriorate—a pointless, lose-lose situation.\nData by YCharts IBM Financials\nIBM Financials\nHere is IBM's revenue, (trailing 12 months by quarter) over the last 10 years.\nData by YCharts\nNow here's a look at IBM's operating margins, again for the last 10 years.\nData by YCharts\nAnd IBM's debt load.\nData by YCharts\nLooking at IBM's balance sheet and income statement shows an unambiguous picture of a business in decline. This has been known for a long time. It's likely only a matter of time before the 4.7 percent dividend yield comes under pressure. Despite this, there are some signs of a turnaround. The past couple of quarterly earnings came in higher than estimates, and the dividend should be covered by expected earnings of $10.70for this year (the dividend wasn't covered last year).\nFor next year, analysts expect earnings of nearly $12, but their revenue estimates are far more subdued, calling for about only a two-percent increase. There are a lot of things that companies can do to make earnings temporarily better, but revenue and revenue per share are much harder numbers to smooth out. To this point, I don't love IBM's accounting, the whole thing has a feel to it like they're robbing Peter to pay Paul, every quarter, for years on end.\nWhere Will IBM Be in 5 Years?\nOne thing we know is that IBM is highly likely to be two companies instead of one. IBM itself could likely trade for a higher multiple, perhaps in line with the S&P's P/E ratio in the low 20s, while Kyndryl is likely to trade somewhere below 10x earnings. Of the two, IBM is likely to be the better investment. I would expect that the earnings per share would slowly decline for Kyndryl while growing 5-10 percent annually for IBM. One wild card here is how the debt for the two companies is split up. There is going to be a temptation to place more of the debt in Kyndryl to turn the new IBM into a star performer. This is the stuff of corporate law firms who make a lot more money per hour than I do, but my feeling is that the long-term bonds issued by IBM probably are going to have to be guaranteed by both companies going forward in some capacity, depending on the debt covenants. Some recent debt covenant cases with Hewlett Packard(NYSE:HPQ)and Penn National(NASDAQ:PENN)are worth reading.\nJust ballparking the combined company and recent earnings, my best estimate for 5-year returns is 0-2 percent annually if you hold both. Kyndryl probably will have to cut its dividend at some point if revenue doesn't start growing, while IBM itself can grow earnings handsomely on the software side and could possibly become a dividend growth stock. After the spinoff, I would expect high-single-digit annual returns for IBM proper and low-single-digit negative returns for Kyndryl. These would be subject to the valuations of both companies, but that's my best estimate at this point. What are your thoughts?
