International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Armonk, New York, with operations in over 170 countries. The company began in 1911, founded in Endicott, New York, as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) and was renamed International Business Machines in 1924. IBM is incorporated in New York. IBM produces and sells computer hardware, middleware and software, and provides hosting and consulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to nanotechnology. IBM is also a major research organization, holding the record for most annual U.S. patents generated by a business (as of 2020) for 28 consecutive years. Inventions by IBM include the automated teller machine (ATM), the floppy disk, the hard disk drive, the magnetic stripe card, the relational database, the SQL programming language, the UPC barcode, and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The IBM mainframe, exemplified by the System/360, was the dominant computing platform during the 1960s and 1970s.
📊 Key Metrics
What does this mean?
The P/E ratio tells you how much investors pay for each dollar of earnings. A lower P/E might mean the stock is undervalued — or that growth is slowing. Compare it to the industry average for context.
What does this mean?
Earnings Per Share (EPS) shows how much profit the company makes for each share you own. Higher EPS generally means more profitable. If EPS is growing year over year, that's a good sign.
What does this mean?
Dividend yield tells you what percentage of the stock price you'll get back annually in cash payments. A 3% yield means $3 per year for every $100 invested. Great for passive income.
What does this mean?
Market cap is the total value of all shares. Large-cap ($10B+) companies are usually more stable. Mid-cap ($2-10B) offer growth potential. Small-cap (under $2B) are riskier but can grow fast.
What does this mean?
Beta measures volatility compared to the market. Beta of 1.0 = moves with the market. Above 1.0 = more volatile (bigger swings). Below 1.0 = more stable. Choose based on your risk tolerance.
What does this mean?
Profit margin shows what percentage of revenue becomes actual profit. Higher is better — it means the company keeps more of each dollar it earns. Compare to industry peers.
