IBM, $250 06, is a buy. The company (New York symbol IBM; Shares outstanding: 938.0 million; Market cap: $230.1 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; Dividend yield: 2.7%; www.ibm.com) has secured a five-year contract, worth up to $112 million, with the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) of the U.S. Department of War (DoW). The DoW operates commissaries worldwide. These American military general stores sell groceries and household goods to active-duty, Guard, Reserve, and retired military members from all eight uniformed services of the United States. Shoppers, which include eligible family members, pay just cost plus surcharge for anything they buy.
IBM’s shares have fallen 27% from their November 2025 peak of $325. The drop reflects investor concerns that new artificial intelligence (AI) tools to streamline legacy computer code could hurt IBM’s mainframe and consulting businesses. However, the company is already employing AI and other value-added services that will help it hang onto clients focused on cutting costs and boosting efficiency. In fact, its AI-related backlog more than doubled from $6 billion in March 2025 to $12.5 billion by the end of the year.
