Detailed SWOT Analysis of IBM

Strength

This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.

Weakness

1. Loss of confidence expressed by major shareholder: IBM showed stagnant growth over the last few years registering more than 20 straight quarters without revenue growth as of 2017. IBM counts Berkshire Hathaway headed by Warren Buffet as one of its premier shareholders held an 8.5% stake in IBM as of 2016. Berkshire reduced stake in the company in 2017 with concerns regarding increasing competition faced by IBM in cloud segment and declining global server market size. Berkshire fully exited out of IBM in the early part of 2018. IBM is facing serious competition from other major players in the market such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google and that has led to investors doubting its capability to protect its market. With Buffet’s faith shaken in the company, IBM is likely to face further scrutiny over its performance in the coming quarters. The remaining section under "Weakness" is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.
