IBM Warns of Fall in Quarterly Earnings

Dow Jones07-14 19:23

 
 

International Business Machines warned of weakness in the latest quarter as a number of large deals failed to close on the timelines anticipated and supply chains shifted.

The company said it expects second-quarter earnings per share will be down 2% on a year earlier at about $2.27, while its pretax income margin at a projected 14.4% is expected to have contracted 90 basis points.

Revenue for the quarter is forecast at $17.2 billion, up 1%. That includes a 5% rise in software revenue, flat consulting revenue and a 7% drop in infrastructure revenue.

The guidance weighed heavily on IBM's shares ahead of the opening bell, sinking the stock 17% to $240.18. As of Monday's close, the shares had been down 2% so far this year but up 21% in the last three months.
