IBM shares plunge after weak preannouncement, worst drop since 1968

IBM’s stock closed down more than 25% after a preannounced earnings miss: adjusted EPS of $2.93 on revenue of $17.2 billion versus estimates of $3.02 and $17.86 billion. IBM cited a shift in customer spending toward AI servers and memory amid a global memory shortage, with z17 mainframe headwinds contributing.

Stifel trims Microsoft target as Azure margin drag deepens into FY27

The firm models FY27 gross margins around 63% (about 450 bps below the consensus 66.5%), with Azure margins near 47.5% still dragging overall margins by roughly 300 bps YoY due to mix shift. Higher operating expenses and finance lease costs could keep FY27 EPS about $1 below Street expectations (roughly $18.5–$19 vs. ~ $19.5).
