IBM's profitability has declined over the past years, with net profit margin decreasing and not comparing favorably to its peers. The company has improved its efficiency and liquidity position since late 2021, and maintains a strong track record of dividend payments and share repurchases. Despite these improvements, the current IBM stock price is not attractive enough to start a new position, leading to a maintained "hold" rating.

IBM has successfully undergone restructuring and transformation, resulting in strong financial performance and attractive valuation. The company's dividend yield and cash flow metrics are impressive, with a 5% forward dividend yield and a fair share price of $160, 24% higher than the current stock price. Risks to consider include fierce competition, technological disruption, and potential overall market downturns, but I believe that attractive valuation outweighs risks.

IBM: Attractive Yield And Valuation

IBM has a long history of building artificial intelligence (AI) and appears well-positioned to benefit from the new secular growth trend in AI technology. The company's upcoming enterprise AI offering, WatsonX, could provide a significant new revenue stream and help IBM return to revenue and earnings growth. Given the economics of providing enterprise AI software, IBM will at minimum benefit from a 'rising tide that lifts all boats', and could end up much better than that.

IBM: Enterprise AI Prospects Not Priced In
