International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM)

not innovating enough

Strong company. They have a huge reach and are continuing to develop for the future. Good earnings, and still undervalued. Plus, they haven't done as well as the S&P lately, so they're primed to outpace it now.

Well managed innovative business will benefit from global recovery.

IBM...enough said! Seriously, though, this is one of the best and oldest names in Tech that has done a brillant job of adapting to the changes in the market. Where they used to be primarily on the hardware side of the table, now they have a siginificant portion of the 'tech services' industry. In particular I think they dropped last month (after great earnings and guidance) as a result of investor profit taking; if you look at their previous quarter it is similar.

Technology has been beaten up so far in 2010 and I have been picking up what I think are the undervalued and respected companies. At 12.5 trailing PE and 10.6 forward PE IBM seems ready to pop if Tech can get back on the bandwagon.

Vauation is very low for this stock and it's history

As the services sectors rebound in the US and other western economies, IT spending will grow significantly. M&A activity will also boost IT spending. Financial regulation, splitting / ring fencing investment banking operations will also result in more demand for IT resources. IBM is well positioned to benefit and currently at an attractive valuation.

Low P/E. Well postioned for the global recovery when it happens.

Excellent pick given the improved outlook and stock price pullback.

The Cloud is coming and it will take over PCs.

Market starting the reversal and tech is going to lead the falling of the mkt

IBM forward PE is about 12. The company is growing earnings through the recession. IBM has a formidable presence throughout the world with local talent originally working for IBM in the U.S.

Their network infrastructure focus is a big part of the future. Buy&Hold.

IBM has managed to consistently earn huge amounts of profit over the past quarters. The company seems to be focusing strongly on China and India, where a great deal of revenue growth can be expected in the future. Sooner or later the Chinese government will allow the Yuan to appreciate against the Dollar, which will be good for IBM's revenue and profits. I expect IBM to do well over time.

To much debt.

Too big.

Low PE compared to peers, great dividend, and strong fundamentals.

Their transition out of hardware complete, IBM's software and services model is reaching new areas. I'm particularly interested in their investment into issues regarding energy grid inefficiencies. This can be a winner regardless of who wins in the battle between fuels from heaven v. fuels from hell.
