The Lyons' Apologists Ring the Bell Too Early

Heh-heh. Did you see these guys this morning?

Fiserv drops at the open and suddenly the Lyons Widows are dancing around like they just inherited Webistics. “It’s collapsing!” “Takis is finished!” One stunad was probably pricing a commemorative plaque.

Then the stock claws almost the entire dip back and finishes in the same general neighborhood as the Dow and FIS.

Now, suddenly, everybody’s quiet.

These people don’t understand stocks, fundamentals, or companies. They understand refreshing a red number and becoming emotionally aro--ed. The market gives them fifteen bad minutes and they think they’re Warren Buffett. Heh-heh.

And this obsession with Lyons? Madonn’. The man leaves behind a crater and they defend him like he personally tucked them in at night. Takis inherits the mess, the stock fights back after bad guidance, and they’re disappointed it didn’t go bankrupt before lunch.

They’re not investors. They’re hecklers with Yahoo Finance open.

Commendatori, Takis. As for the glorified Lyons fan club, next time wait until the closing bell before you start licking the frosting off the bankruptcy cake.


RSUs

I’ll be getting RSUs this year for the first time. Are the RSUs based on a maximum dollar amount of your CL and ranking or is it a set number of shares no matter what the stock price is? I.e you get 20 shares at $100 and still 20 shares at $150 stock price.


Like a Rock

Elon announces he wants to have mobile service via Starlink, and the TMUS stock drops to $172 a share. This POS is down $50 a share over it high in March of $221 a share. That's some awesome executiving.

Another Quarter, Another Excuse

Someone in the ELT is probably raising a glass while shareholders are staring at a 20% post-market collapse and another 52-week low.
Green day? "Look at the value we've created."
Red day? "The market is overreacting."
No. The market is keeping score.
You can't win the AI race with a legacy mindset. While competitors reinvent themselves, Teradata still feels like it's trying to bolt AI onto yesterday's business.
The stock isn't the problem.

It's the scoreboard.


Tabitha Brown, Chief Empowerment Officer for Clover

Who remembers that?! From January 2025, back when the stock was over $200.

Shannon Watkins, what was she thinking? And what was Frank B thinking when he hired Watkins?! (Probably, "I can't wait to get out of here and sell everything.")

Who would have thought?

Remember when we were all sure 3M was going belly up and we tried to jump ship to solventum? Well, joke is on all of us. 3M stock has appreciated 88% since spin off and SOLV 11%. S&P is up 44% during sane time frame. 3M Healthcare was a crown jewel in 3M and is somehow bo----g post spin. Make it make sense.

Investing.com -- International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) reported second-quarter results that fell short of analyst expectations, though shares rose 3% as the company had issued a profit warning last week.

The technology company posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.93 for the quarter, missing the analyst consensus of $3.01 by $0.08. Revenue came in at $17.2 billion, below the $17.9 billion estimate and up 1% YoY. IBM now expects full-year constant currency revenue growth of 4% to 5%, down from its prior guidance of more than 5%. The midpoint of 4.5% falls below the previous expectation. The company maintained its forecast for free cash flow to increase by approximately $1 billion YoY.

"Although we faced revenue headwinds late in the second quarter, we continued to focus on the fundamentals of our business, including driving productivity, strengthening our portfolio, and generating free cash flow," said James Kavanaugh, IBM senior vice president and chief financial officer.

Software revenue increased 5% to $7.8 billion, with Hybrid Cloud (Red Hat) up 11% and Data up 19%. Consulting revenue remained flat at $5.3 billion, while Infrastructure revenue declined 7% to $3.8 billion, primarily due to a 42% drop in IBM Z, partially offset by a 37% increase in Distributed Infrastructure.

The company generated $2.5 billion in free cash flow during the quarter, down $0.3 billion YoY. For the first six months, free cash flow was $4.8 billion, flat compared to the prior year period.

"We are confident in IBM’s strategy and portfolio, and in our ability to capture growth opportunities ahead," said Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer.

IBM continues to expect improved pre-tax income margin expansion for the full year.


Wake up call

All of you gloating over the 2% increase in stock price today, just keep in mind that the stock is still 33% lower than it was 15 years ago and pays out only 70% of the dividend. The stock has grown $1.50 since Stank became CEO and dividend has gone down. Certainly nothing to crow about. RTO destroyed a once great American company.


IBM Faces Its Biggest Earnings Test Yet After a Historic Stock Drop

“We’re looking for anything they can do or say to
show they’re protecting the bottom line, they’re
protecting earnings, they’re protecting cashflow.”

RAs coming. . .

After last week’s earnings warning sent IBM’s stock into a downward spiral, it may seem like the fate of its shares is sealed. Yet that may not be the case.

Investors already have an idea of what the numbers will look like. IBM previewed its second-quarter earnings last week—a rare move for a company that had only pre-announced earnings once before in its history, during the 2008 financial crisis.

IBM cautioned that key metrics, which will be released on Wednesday after the closing bell, would fall short. The company expects to report $17.2 billion in revenue for the quarter—behind Wall Street’s call for $17.9 billion—driven by a 7% year-over-year drop in infrastructure, flat consulting sales, and a 5% uptick in software. Adjusted earnings are forecast to come in at $2.93 a share, behind the $3.01 analysts were expecting.

Last week, CEO Arvind Krishna issued commentary around artificial-intelligence spending, saying that some customers suddenly shifted their budgets toward servers, memory, and other “supply-constrained infrastructure” to get ahead of expected price hikes.

“This dynamic impacted client buying patterns,” Krishna explained in a letter to shareholders. “While we anticipated some supply chain related impact in our expectations, we did not anticipate the magnitude of the capex reprioritization.”

Shares plunged 25% on July 14, marking their worst one-day decline ever and wiping out nearly $70 billion in market value. The stock fell 26% last week—the worst weekly performance in the company’s history.

Now, investors are questioning whether the company is facing execution issues in the face of unexpected changes, or if there are signs of a broader shift in customer behavior that IBM must adapt to. Krishna wrote that “numerous large deals” failed to close on the timelines IBM had expected, “driving the majority of our shortfall.”

The real proof won’t be in the numbers—investors already have an idea of what those will be. Rather, they’re looking for signs of future execution and commentary regarding the steps IBM is taking to recover from the quarter’s missteps.

“IBM has to show customers are still spending, the AI and software opportunity remains intact, and that management has a credible plan to get growth back on track,” Mizuho’s Dan O’Regan told Barron’s ahead of the report.

Given that IBM had been trading earlier this year near all-time highs, the selloff was partly warranted, O’Regan said. Even so, he believes the market was overlooking momentum in “several of IBM’s strategic businesses,” particularly software and AI-related offerings.

“If those trends remain intact, investors may ultimately view this as an execution reset rather than a deterioration of the long-term story,” O’Regan explained.

Although the earnings warning triggered a wave of price-target cuts, most firms aren’t changing their tune on IBM stock. The consensus rating on FactSet remains Overweight. On Tuesday, Jefferies analysts reaffirmed their Buy rating on the shares, even as they lowered their price target to $260 from $320.

For Wall Street bears, the earnings warning validated long-held doubts rather than offering a fresh perspective. BNP Paribas analyst Stefan Slowinski has long argued that the stock was trading at an unwarranted premium to the broader market.

“We’ve been concerned about valuation,” Slowinski told Barron’s. “Investors are overpaying for very low organic growth.” To counter that drag, he noted, IBM has relied on buying faster-growing software firms to artificially lift its overall profile.

“Cashflow is always important for IBM,” Slowinski continued. “It’s never good if you miss on the top line and you’re not growing, but you should protect the bottom line. Even if they do take down their full-year revenue guidance, can they keep their full-year cashflow guidance?”

From his perspective, second-quarter earnings will be a crucial test for IBM. “If they can pull some levers, that gives investors confidence that, even if the market changes and they miss on revenue, they typically now know how to adapt their business,” Slowinski said. “We’re looking for anything they can do or say to show they’re protecting the bottom line, they’re protecting earnings, they’re protecting cashflow.”
