IBM Stock News

Database software titan Oracle (ORCL 4.46%) is soaring in 2025. As I write this on Sept.

Many quantum computing stocks have captured the spotlight over the past year. But one tech giant is quietly progressing on its quantum computer ambitions, and it offers financial strength and a robust dividend.

IBM (IBM -0.15%) is sometimes forgotten when investors think about tech stocks.

Artificial intelligence has proven to be a transformative technology, yet quantum computing could be bigger. Quantum computers harness the properties of quantum mechanics to perform calculations in a way that's entirely different from classical computers.

Organizations and governments around the world are rushing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI). Yet downsides exist.

Quantum computing could revolutionize everything from drug discovery to cryptography, with the global market expected to reach $7.3 billion by 2030. Most of today's headlines focus on pure plays like IonQ and Rigetti Computing, whose prototypes and partnerships generate attention but little revenue and whose stock prices often swing wildly on technical updates.

There's little doubt that Palantir Technologies (PLTR -0.19%) is one of the most significant stock market stories of the decade, so far. The data mining company unveiled its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) in 2023 and since has been climbing fast.

International Business Machines (IBM 1.22%), which is usually referred to by its ticker IBM, is a global icon in the technology sector. The company has a surprising ability to change with the times, and it's been doing so for more than 100 years now.
