Z17 best refresh cycle at 130% program to program
IBM reported weaker-than-expected Q2 results with only 1% total revenue growth, missing prior expectations due to large enterprise license deal slippage as clients shifted CapEx toward memory and infrastructure. Management maintained full-year revenue guidance of 4-5% and free cash flow growth of ~$1B, expressing confidence that the shortfall is timing-related. Software growth was cut to 6-8%, but distributed infrastructure (Power/Storage) showed record momentum with $500M backlog. Q2 revenue grew 1% (vs. prior ~5% expectation), driven by a late-quarter shift in client spending toward servers/storage/memory due to supply concerns.

- Software growth of 5% (organic flat) missed; ~80% of software revenue (recurring) grew nicely, but large transaction-heavy ELAs slipped.
- Management stated ~1/3 of slipped ELAs have already closed in early Q3, suggesting deferral rather than destruction.
- Distributed infrastructure (Power & Storage) posted record revenue growth of 37% with $500M backlog, strongest on record.

Management acknowledged the second quarter shortfall but expressed unchanged conviction in the business, citing strong demand signals in distributed infrastructure and mainframe, and maintained free cash flow guidance.
경영진의 AI 분석
Management stated that clients are in the early stages of AI adoption and that value will shift towards orchestration and data layers. They highlighted growing demand for AI in consulting, with generative AI representing about 50% of consulting signings, and that AI is driving capacity growth on the mainframe platform.
투자 및 생산능력
Management noted they are investing more than $10 billion in quantum over five years, including a billion-dollar cash contribution to a quantum foundry. They also proactively strengthened supply chain with inventory to support anticipated demand, and expect higher capex this year, though the majority is behind them.
