IBM's stock surged 13.5% this week, reaching $255 per share, following a better-than-expected fourth fiscal quarter. The increase was driven by strong growth in artificial intelligence and positive commentary from the company's leadership regarding future tech acquisitions and business spending. The stock rose nearly 12% from Wednesday to Friday, hitting a new 52-week high. IBM's CFO announced an aim for 5% revenue growth on a constant currency basis under a new framework during the investor conference. Additionally, IBM predicts $4.4 trillion in annual AI-driven productivity gains by 2030, with total enterprise spending expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 28% between 2025 and 2028, reaching $835 billion. Despite the enthusiasm, only 26% of enterprises have begun exploring generative AI, highlighting a significant opportunity for growth in the sector.
