IBM forecast 2016 earnings that trailed analysts’ estimates, as the company continues to struggle to return to growth in the face of price pressure and declining demand for its legacy services business.
International Business Machines Corp. expects 2016 operating earnings of at least $13.50 a share, Chief Financial Officer Martin Schroeter said during a conference call to discuss earnings. Analysts had projected $15 on average, and the estimates ranged from $13.94 to $16.42, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
