Better results

Biggish Blue’s cunning plan to turn itself around appears to be getting some good results.

IBM notched its highest sales gain in 10-plus years in 2021s fourth quarter and revenue of $16.7 billion for its fourth quarter of 2021, up 6.5 per cent, or 8.6 per cent adjusted for currency, compared with the prior-year quarter's spinoff-adjusted results.

It was the tech giant's highest quarterly growth since 2011, and ahead of the Wall Street consensus forecast of $16.1 billion.

By segment, Software revenue rose by eight per cent, up 10 per cent. Consulting revenue was up 13 per cent. Infrastructure revenue was flat, with a two per cent rise.

IBM chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna the outfit increased revenue in the fourth quarter with hybrid cloud adoption driving growth in software and consulting.

"Our fourth-quarter results give us confidence in our ability to deliver our objectives of sustained mid-single-digit revenue growth and strong free cash flow in 2022."
