- Income: According to Refinitive, analysts expected 17.56 billion, compared to 17 17.54 billion.
Revenue fell 2.5% year-on-year for the third consecutive quarter, a statement said. An example of declining revenue under the chairmanship of new CEO Arvind Krishna was always present during the tenure of his predecessor Ginny Romatti.

At the time, IBM said in its preliminary results that it expects adjusted earnings per share of 6 17.6 billion to 2.5 2.58. During a conference call with analysts on the day of the announcement, Krishna said IBM expects to reach “sustainable mid-digit revenue growth in the medium term”.

Global business services revenue was% 3.97 billion in total, down 5% and above the 3.90 billion consensus. Systems revenue was 1.26 billion%, down 15% and below the 1.55 billion consensus.
