We’ll now look at how IBM’s Enterprise Advantage advisory platform for internal AI systems could influence the company’s broader investment narrative.
Trump has pledged to “unleash” American oil and gas and these 22 US stocks are experiencing developments that should benefit.
To own IBM, you have to believe it can transform its hybrid cloud, AI and consulting businesses into sustainable, high-value software and services, even if growth expectations remain modest and the balance sheet carries significant debt. The latest AI announcements, including Enterprise Advantage and GRAMMY IQ, support the near-term catalyst for deeper adoption of AI in business workflows, but they do not materially alter the primary risk that macroeconomic uncertainty or fiscal prudence could slow consumption of consulting services and software.

See how International Business Machines’ forecast yields a fair value of $302.05an increase of 4% compared to its current price.
Compared to consensus, the most pessimistic analysts are forecasting only about $73.3 billion in revenue and $8.8 billion in profit through 2028. So you need to weigh that caution against IBM’s new AI initiatives and consider how both optimistic and bearish views might shift as these agentic AI projects evolve.
