Stifel Maintains Buy on IBM, Raises Price Target to $310

In the early days of Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Bill Gates&nbsp;credits his mother, Mary Gates, for playing a crucial role in securing a pivotal contract with IBM that set the stage for the company&#8217;s success.
What Happened: Mary Gates, a well-known businesswoman and board member of United Way of King County, used her connection with John Opel, then-chairman of IBM (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NASDAQ">IBM</a>), to help Microsoft land a significant contract in 1980, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/05/how-bill-gates-mother-influenced-the-success-of-microsoft.html">reported </a>CNBC.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/MSFT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MSFT stock here</a>.
Back then, Microsoft was a young company, just five years old. IBM was seeking&nbsp;an operating system for its&nbsp;personal computer project, &#8220;Chess.&#8221; Despite Microsoft&#8217;s potential, IBM was also considering other software companies, including Microsoft&#8217;s competitor, Digital Research.
Mary Gates took advantage of the situation to advocate for her son&#8217;s company to Opel. After their discussion, Opel brought up Microsoft in conversations with IBM executives. As negotiations with Digital Research began to stumble, Opel remembered Microsoft, as the company "run by Bill Gates,&nbsp;Mary Gates' son," as reported by&nbsp;The Seattle Times., leading IBM to choose Microsoft for the task.
Microsoft, which didn&#8217;t possess an operating system at that point, purchased QDOS from Seattle Computer Products and developed MS-DOS. The non-exclusive licensing of MS-DOS to IBM became one of Microsoft&#8217;s most lucrative products, emerging as the preferred operating system for nearly&nbsp;every personal computer on the&nbsp;market.

Why It Matters: Mary Gates&#8217; influence extended beyond this pivotal deal. She also played a significant role in&nbsp;fostering a billion-dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40151169/how-a-holiday-meeting-sparked-a-billion-dollar-friendship-between-bill-gates-warren-buffett">friendship&nbsp;between </a>Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in 1991.
Moreover, Bill Gates&#8217; IBM connection doesn&#8217;t end here. His ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, revealed that an IBM hiring manager<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44162997/melinda-french-gates-reveals-an-ibm-manager-inspired-her-to-join-bill-gates-co-founded-little-company-microsoft"> insisted</a> that she join Microsoft in 1987, a decision that significantly impacted her career and personal life.
Despite these successes, Microsoft has also faced its share of missed opportunities in its early days. Bill Gates has admitted to a significant oversight that&nbsp;cost Microsoft a $400 billion opportunity&nbsp;in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44065138/this-bill-gates-mistake-cost-microsoft-a-400-billion-opportunity-according-to-android-co-founder-sorry-bill">mobile sector</a>. However, the company&#8217;s early success, largely due to Mary Gates&#8217; influence, has undoubtedly shaped its trajectory.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on IBM Options

Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives has placed his bets on cybersecurity as the &#8220;biggest subsector&#8221; in the technology sector in 2025.
What Happened: According to Ives, as the world moves toward using cloud services for storing data, strong cybersecurity services becomes imperative for the protection of data.
He highlights that Crowdstrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), Zscaler Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZS#NASDAQ">ZS</a>), Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHKP#NASDAQ">CHKP</a>) could be the biggest beneficiaries of this trend during the upcoming earnings season.
&#8220;When you look at Crowdstrike, Zscaler, Palo Alto, Check Point, as more moves to the cloud, cybersecurity is going to move hand-in-hand. This is going to be one area that outperforms significantly during earnings season,&#8221; Ives <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/07/14/ives-the-ai-revolution-is-now-spreading-across-all-corners-of-the-tech-sector.html">told</a> CNBC on Monday.
When highlighted that the cybersecurity ETFs have performed poorly in the near term, Ives quipped that they are going to be one of the best performers of 2025.

&#8220;I think it&#8217;s because of rotation,&#8221; Ives said, highlighting the near-term underperformance. &#8220;I think the market&#8217;s got it wrong, when you actually look at the technology subsector, cybersecurity could be the biggest subsector of the year for tech,&#8221; he added.
Simultaneously, he reiterated his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/07/46339022/palantir-could-be-the-next-big-ai-winner-says-dan-ives-sees-12-pltr-stock-surge">bullish views</a> on Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), saying that it was on the &#8220;golden path to become an AI stalwart&#8221; over the next 12 months. 
Meanwhile, he also expressed his optimism in International Business Machine Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), and praised its CEO, Arvind Krishna. &#8220;When it comes to AI, I think what Arvind&#8217;s doing there is that there&#8217;s a renaissance going on in Arkmonk, that&#8217;s why we are very bullish on IBM,&#8221; he said.
When asked what the investors should look out for in IBM&#8217;s earnings, he said, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s cloud computing and it&#8217;s AI-driven revenue. Network services, you could say, is under pressure, but the stack, that&#8217;s what IBM is selling into a massive installed base,&#8221; added that this was going to get &#8220;rerated&#8221; as the investors &#8220;underestimate&#8221; it.

Why It Matters: Apart from the winners in this season, when Ives was asked about the potential earnings misses from the technology sectors during the earnings season, he pointed at Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is IBM A Good Stock To Buy?</h3>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IBM">IBM</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. IBM pays a dividend, which yields 3.12% per year. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IBM">IBM</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
IBM Price Action: IBM shares were down 0.71% at $290.28 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. IBM shares have gained approximately 33% year-to-date, well ahead of the S&amp;P 500, which is up about 6.25% since the start of the year.

Cuban's AI Prediction, IBM's Rise, Musk's New Hire And More: This Week In AI

As Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) turned the most valuable publicly traded company on Thursday, inching closer to a $4 trillion market capitalization, this multinational technology company, nicknamed &#8216;Big Blue,&#8217; has outperformed the Magnificent 7 and the Jensen Huang-led tech giant in 2025.
What Happened: International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) has quietly outpaced the gains in Magnificent 7 stocks on a year-to-date basis, emerging as one of the most profitable artificial intelligence plays this year.

Why It Matters: Apart from AI, IBM also emerged as one of the top investors alongside Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), making significant investments in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45901958/ibm-google-emerge-as-top-investors-in-quantum-computing-with-most-patents-issued-in-2025-only-two-companies-seriously-investing-says-martin-shkreli">quantum computing space</a> on a year-to-date basis.
According to the data shared by Martin Shkreli in mid-June, there was a steep drop in the number of quantum computing patents issued after IBM and Google, suggesting that other companies are either smaller players or not prioritizing quantum computing as heavily.
Meanwhile, highlighting the tariff impact during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44972416/ibm-plays-down-trump-tariff-concerns-doge-could-affect-consulting-business-but-its-us-federal-business-is-less-than-5-says-ceo">first quarter earnings call</a>, IBM's CFO and Senior Vice President, James Kavanaugh, said that the company was exploring alternatives to mitigate any indirect effects because the direct tariff impact was "minimal." 
"Goods imported to the U.S. represent less than 5% of our overall spend, and under current U.S. tariff policy, the impact to IBM is minimal. While we have limited direct exposure outside the United States, we are tactically evaluating alternative sources and other strategies to mitigate tariffs," he said.
Talking about the impact of DOGE-related initiatives, its Chairman, President, and CEO, Arvind Krishna, highlighted that its consulting business was "susceptible to discretionary pullbacks and DOGE-related initiatives."
The company is set to report its <a href="https://newsroom.ibm.com/2024-07-10-IBM-to-Announce-Second-Quarter-2024-Financial-Results#:~:text=ARMONK%2C%20N.Y.%2C%20July%2010%2C,at%205%3A00%20p.m.%20ET">second-quarter earnings</a> on July 24. -.

Everyone Talked About Nvidia, Apple And Tesla, But This One Tech Stock Has Left Them All Behind In 2025

Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) is back in the spotlight. After a punishing stretch in 2022 and 2023, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/quantum-computing">the quantum computing firm</a> has staged a remarkable turnaround—its stock soaring more than 1,000% over the past year. Now, Wall Street is starting to take notice. On Wednesday, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Troy Jensen initiated coverage on Rigetti with an Overweight rating and a bullish $15 price target.
Although the stocks have all experienced meaningful appreciation and are trading at steep valuations based on any near-term revenue or earnings forecast, Jensen still noted upside given the strategic value of quantum computing.
According to the analyst, of the primary technologies believed to be capable of reaching quantum status, superconducting has seen the most investment.

While Rigetti is competing with Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Jensen noted that this ecosystem of technology leaders will help pave the way toward quantum capabilities within superconducting and position Rigetti to benefit from the efforts of others.
The analyst applauded Rigetti&#8217;s announced partnership with Quanta Computer and noted that this strategic collaboration will help accelerate the development and commercialization of superconducting quantum computing. As part of this partnership, both companies committed to investing at least $250 million over five years, including Quanta investing $35 million in Rigetti through a stock purchase in April, he said. 
The collaboration will enable Rigetti to focus on quantum technology, while Quanta concentrates on packaging and manufacturing, leveraging their expertise in servers and notebooks, Jensen noted.
The analyst noted that after challenging 2022 and 2023, Rigetti&#8217;s share price has rallied since late 2024, increasing by approximately 1,008% over the last 52 weeks.
He said that Rigetti is in the very early innings of commercializing its technology.
Rigetti can capture 15% of the quantum hardware, software, and services market by 2035, which, at a 10% discount rate, equates to a revenue present value of $477 million, Jensen noted.
While the price performances of other pure-play quantum computing stocks are flat to up year-to-date, the analyst noted Rigetti&#8217;s 22% year-to-date correction as an opportunity to accumulate shares.
Jensen projected second-quarter revenue of $1.8 million and EPS of $(0.06).
Price Action: RGTI stock is up 10.4% at $12.52 at last check Wednesday.

Quantum Computing's Dark Horse Rigetti Stands At The Edge Of Greatness

Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider maintains IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $270 to $310.

Goldman Sachs Maintains Buy on IBM, Raises Price Target to $310

In a recent thread on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1lj7dbp/what_stock_do_you_believe_in_today_that_others/">r/stocks</a>, one Redditor recently sparked a wide-ranging discussion by posing a deceptively simple question: &#8220;What stock do you believe in today that others might regret sleeping on in five years?&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Share Their High-Conviction Long-Term Picks</h2>
The original poster referenced early believers in Palantir (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), noting how long-term conviction had paid off for those who held strong. The thread quickly filled with comments, and among the noise, a few well-supported picks stood out.

</ul>
AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) was by far the most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46095234/ast-spacemobile-stock-is-falling-wednesday-whats-happening">discussed</a>. One user noted, &#8220;They&#8217;re currently partnered with 52 [mobile network operators] worldwide that service 3.3B people.&#8221; Another broke down the math: At $0.25 per user per month, that&#8217;s $9.9 billion in annual revenue. Even with 60% margins, that&#8217;s $5.9 billion in earnings. With just 161 million shares outstanding, the investor claimed, &#8220;At a conservative P/E of 20, you&#8217;re looking at a $737 share price.&#8221;
Still, not everyone is buying the hype. One commenter warned, &#8220;When you see a company being constantly shilled on Reddit and people talking about &#8216;the last chance to buy in&#8217; and &#8216;cashing in my pension to buy&#8217; it&#8217;s time to sell.&#8221;
Rolls-Royce also got plenty of attention. One bullish investor said, &#8220;Already flying but in the next 10 years, they&#8217;ll be one of the global leaders in building nuclear power stations along with having probably the best CEO alive.&#8221; Another, who reported being up 400% on the stock, added, &#8220;I really feel they&#8217;re just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38292784/turkeys-aviation-ambitions-soar-with-20b-rolls-royce-airbus-agreement-report">getting started</a> too.&#8221;

The conversation also included smaller, lesser-known companies like Aurora Innovation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AUR#NASDAQ">AUR</a>), a player in autonomous trucking. &#8220;I got in at the mid two-dollar mark,&#8221; one user wrote. &#8220;They've got the technology down, and they are rapidly expanding. Plus, they've got the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45414625/aurora-innovation-shares-fall-as-uber-announces-1b-note-offering-whats-going-on">support of Uber</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NASDAQ">UBER</a>) and other big clients.&#8221; The stock is up around 100% in the last 12 months but down around 13% year to date.&nbsp;
Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) was mentioned as a future leader in space launches. Supporters argued the company had overcome early skepticism and is now seeing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46096249/rocket-lab-stock-hits-new-all-time-high-whats-fueling-the-momentum">strong upward momentum</a>.
Nebius (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIS#NASDAQ">NBIS</a>), the company formerly known as Yandex, resurfaced as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/06/45998578/what-the-options-market-tells-us-about-nebius-group">potential rebound story</a> after being spun off and relisted on the Nasdaq. &#8220;They got delisted during the Ukrainian war, sold off the search businesses.

Several investors mentioned Reddit (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) itself. One comment noted, &#8220;It's funny how many Redditors use it daily and probably don't hold a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/reddit-stock-price-prediction">share in the company</a>.&#8221;
Others mentioned broad plays on critical industries. MP Materials (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45914913/mp-materials-stock-surges-on-report-of-us-government-funding-for-rare-earths">rare earth miners</a> were seen as essential to the future of artificial intelligence, defense, and electric vehicles. Another user pitched IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>): &#8220;Old and slow works and is a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/46085701/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-ibm-stock-in-the-last-5-years">stable of an investment</a>, especially with quantum on the horizon. IBM does not push a ton of PR and is business-to-business.&#8221;
For every pick, someone had a story: missed chances, huge wins, and lessons learned.&nbsp;
Whether these plays turn out to be the next Nvidia or just another cautionary tale remains to be seen. But as the thread showed, there&#8217;s no shortage of conviction among retail investors willing to bet big and hold long.

Palantir, Tesla, And Nvidia Rewarded Patient Investors. Now, An Investor Is Asking, 'What Are You Currently Bullish On For The Long Term?'

The first half of 2025 has come to a close and 21 of the 30 stocks that make up the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones Industrial Average Index</a> are positive year-to-date.
Despite the impressive number of stocks with a positive performance in the first six months, the index was up around 4% with several of the components posting large declines.
2025 Performance: Through the first six months of the year, two <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">Magnificent Seven stocks </a>are among the 10 best in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and two are among the 10 worst in the index based on performance.
Here's a look at the 10 best Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks in the first half:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>International Business Machines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>): +34.1%</li>

<li>Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>): +12.3%</li>
</ol>
Here are the 10 worst performing Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks in the first half:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>): -38.3%</li>
<li>Merck &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>): -20.4%</li>
<li>Salesforce.com Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>): -18.4</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): -18.1%</li>
<li>Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>): -6.1%</li>
<li>Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>): -5.7%</li>
<li>Procter &amp; Gamble Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>): -5.0%</li>
<li>Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>): -1.1%</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): Flat</li>
<li>McDonald's Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NASDAQ">MCD</a>): +0.8%</li>
</ol>
Overall the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the index, was up around 4% in the first half of 2025. This was a lower gain than the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, which had a 5.7% gain in the first half.

Why It's Important: Nvidia was one of the new Dow Jones components <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/12/42726598/dow-jones-2024-scoreboard-top-5-winners-losers-and-how-amazon-nvidia-could-reshape-2025">added in 2024</a> and the stock is one of the top performers in the first half of 2025. The stock replaced Intel, which was a top decliner in recent years.
The index also got rid of Walgreens, which was another poor performer in recent years. Its replacement Amazon was flat for the first half of 2025.
The new index makeup is showing strong signs of positive returns.
With 21 of the components positive year-to-date and one flat, this could mark one of the best years by the number of gainers in recent history.
In 2024, 18 of the 30 stocks were up for the full year. In 2023, 19 of the stocks in the index were up.
Perhaps most surprising is that two of the Magnificent Seven stocks rank among the worst performers in the first half of 2025, despite being part of the four Mag 7 members included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Apple was the fourth-worst performer in the index for the first half, falling 18.1%. That marks a sharp reversal from its standout status as the only Dow Jones stock to rank among the top gainers in both 2023 and 2024.
Amazon ranked ninth with a flat return, as only eight of the components were down. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains one of the most closely watched stock market indexes, serving as a gauge of overall market health. With only 30 stocks and a weighting based on stock price, rather than market capitalization, the index is less frequently used by some analysts and market experts than the broader S&amp;P 500 Index.
