IBM’s stock experienced a significant surge of 12% on Thursday, reaching a zenith not seen in over a decade, thanks to an optimistic revenue outlook. This financial upswing is largely attributed to the burgeoning demand for the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) offerings.

Rising on AI’s Wave

According to reports, the tech giant, commonly known as Big Blue, has witnessed a substantial increase in orders for its generative AI sector, particularly the Watsonx platform. This surge in demand is expected to drive a revenue growth of 4-6% in 2024, outpacing Wall Street‘s more conservative 3% estimate.

IBM’s recent financial statements, released on Wednesday, have outstripped market predictions, thanks to a robust order book. Nevertheless, the company has announced an upcoming reduction in staff, which will be balanced by new recruitment in AI-centric positions.

Strategic Focus and Market Dominance

Under CEO Arvind Krishna’s guidance, IBM has strategically pivoted towards emphasizing software and consulting services, with a particular focus on AI. This shift has catered to diverse industry clients eager to integrate AI into their operations.

Krishna, who also serves as the chairman, expressed satisfaction with the company’s performance, highlighting alignment with revenue growth expectations and surpassing free cash flow targets. For 2024, IBM anticipates revenue growth consistent with their mid-single digit model and projects about $12 billion in free cash flow.

The company’s shares climbed to $194.93, marking the highest level since June 2013, which boosted IBM’s market capitalization by approximately $19 billion and presented an 18% year-to-date increase in stock risk.

Analysts recognize IBM’s AI consulting arm as a significant competitive advantage, bolstered by its increasingly important AI software solutions. This combination places IBM in a strong position relative to its competitors, according to May De from Global X ETFs.
