RISKY BUY

Interesting story at these levels. Going to be splitting legacy divisions from higher growth. Will take a couple of quarters to show whether higher growth engine will provide more upside. Attractive dividend. Worth looking at for a trade.

DON'T BUY

It is starting to perk up a little. The Redhat acquisition is starting to flow through and show some growth. He still does not love IBM. It will fall into the bucket of 'Old Tech'. Continued share purchases will help with EPS, but revenue growth will continue to be difficult. He would look at other names like the FANG stocks. (Analysts’ price target is $148.00)

DON'T BUY

Very mature tech company that's having trouble finding growth. Technically sound, around the 50-day moving average. Hasn't outperformed the S&P since 2011. Cheap at 12.5x earnings. Revenue growth forecast is anemic at only about 1%. Future is murky. Yield is 4.6% and sustainable.

electrical / electronic

DON'T BUY

Cheap, but wouldn't buy it. The issue is they didn't have a lot of topline revenue growth, but that's changing now. Buying back shares, nice dividend of 4.4% or so, trading at 10-11x earnings. Too late to the cloud to be competitive. Better to own AMZN, MSFT or GOOG to play in the cloud.

BUY

It reports on Monday and is up 40% since its last earnings report They pay a 4.7% dividend yield so there's some margin on safety. They are returning to revenue growth, gross margins are improving, and they boast solid free cash flow that could be invested in cloud, or A.I. that drives bottom-line growth. They have 18% growth in the cloud business. No, it's not a slam dunk, and there's still work to be done, but at 13x forward earnings and approaching $130/share (long-term support) you can take a chance on this.

electrical / electronic

DON'T BUY

IBM continues to be slow. They bought Red Hat, but RH faces a lot of competition. Tuck-in acquisitions continue this year, but some concern him. They report Monday.

electrical / electronic

BUY

Hang onto it or even buy more. IBM is doing better than many people think and is solid.

electrical / electronic

BUY

The CEO is breaking the company in two and doing a great job.

electrical / electronic

DON'T BUY

Doesn't particularly like. Has never owned. Well behind the top players in the cloud. Not strong revenue growth. Grown bottom line only by buying back shares. In tech, you want to be in something that's growing and compounding at a better rate.

electrical / electronic

WATCH

It has been a restructure play for a number of years now. Cheap in technology is a dangerous issue sometimes because it can mean no growth. It is always on his radar screen. Others are more attractive in the short term.

electrical / electronic

COMMENT

They report Monday. The stock has been hanging in there and lately older tech names have been strong like Dell. Maybe IBM joins them.

electrical / electronic

RISKY BUY

A trade, not an investment. Buy around $120, sell around $140. Hard to see a clear investment thesis on it, though it tries very hard. Legacy hardware side that they pull around like a ball and chain.

SELL

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks IBM stock was pounded nearly 10% after it released a harsh quarterly report where total sales declined for the fourth-straight report across all five of its business segments. For example, its systems business plunged 17.8% while net sales slid 6.5%. There's still hope that IBM's hybrid cloud business will pay off, after the company bought Red Hat in 2019.

COMMENT

Will introduce the new management team next week. Their moderate growth, big dividend story could attract conservative investors.

electrical / electronic

DON'T BUY

Lagged higher growth areas since at least 2017. Yield is great at 5.1%. A tech company with high yield signals to him that growth is starting to stall. Be cautious. Cheap for a reason. Revenue growth looks anemic. Fine for income, not for growth.
