after the company issued an earnings warning last week. IBM said it aims to widen its full-year pre-tax margin by about 1 percentage point through higher productivity. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the company did relative to LSEG consensus:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Earnings per share:<\/strong> $2.93 adjusted vs. $2.97 expected  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Revenue:<\/strong> $17.16 billion vs. $17.58 billion expected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"height:100%\" class=\"lazyload-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<p>IBM&#8217;s revenue grew 1% year over year in the quarter, according to a statement. Net income of $2.17 billion, or $2.30 per share, decreased from $2.19 billion, or $2.36 per share, a year ago. Adjusted earnings exclude acquisition-related adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>Management called for 4% to 5% revenue growth in constant currency for 2026. As recently as April, IBM had been looking for over 5% growth at constant currency. The company reiterated expectations for $1 billion in higher free cash flow for the year.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts cut their estimates after IBM announced preliminary second-quarter results. In a letter to investors, CEO Arvind Krishna cited worse-than-planned performance in sales of Z mainframe computers and transaction processing software as organizations rushed to buy hardware ahead of expected price increases. The stock dropped 25%, marking its sharpest single-day decline on record.<\/p>\n<p>The revenue and adjusted earnings per share figures IBM disclosed on Wednesday were in line with the figures released a week ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<div class=\"RelatedContent-relatedContent\" id=\"RegularArticle-RelatedContent-1\">\n<div class=\"RelatedContent-container\">\n<div class=\"RelatedContent-nonCollapsibleContent\">\n<h2 class=\"RelatedContent-header\">Read more CNBC tech news<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<ul>\n<li>Google expands Gemini lineup with cheaper models and new Mythos rival<\/li>\n<li>Bessent says U.S. could sanction China over AI model &#8216;theft&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Nvidia details its next-generation Vera CPU for AI, setting up challenge to AMD and Intel<\/li>\n<li>Intel&#8217;s foundry lands first named customer under CEO Lip-Bu Tan, as Fortinet signs on for security chips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>As of Wednesday&#8217;s close, IBM shares were down 30% so far in 2026, while the S&amp;P 500 index was up about 10%.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:100%\" class=\"lazyload-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<p>IBM said its high-margin software segment produced $7.76 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 5%.
