Purk noted that IBM has done well to spin off low-growth businesses to now be able to achieve 4% to 6% revenue growth. However, its debt load and dividend payout reduce IBM’s financial flexibility going forward. As a result, the share price is unlikely to be boosted much further.
Overall, Wall Street analysts have a consensus price target of $143.56 on IBM stock, implying over 5% upside potential, as indicated by the graphic above.
