IBM stock was trading at EUR 201.93 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 12:31 p.m. CEST, plus 0.54 percent versus the prior close of EUR 200.85. On October 1, 2026, IBM announced self-hosted deployment for IBM Bob, extending its agentic software development platform to on-premises, private-cloud, sovereign-cloud and air-gapped environments.

Bob targets controlled AI environments

The October 1 announcement places data residency, security policies and governance at the center of IBM Bob's deployment model. Customers can run supported licensed models on premises or connect the platform to external model services through hybrid configurations, while keeping source code and application context inside controlled infrastructure.

That product move addresses a specific enterprise constraint: organizations with regulated data or mission-critical systems may not be able to send development workflows to a public AI service. IBM's release describes Bob as a platform for software delivery and modernization, not only code generation, which broadens its use across existing application environments.

Revenue grows as guidance narrows

IBM's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 17.16 billion, up 1.00 percent year over year, while GAAP diluted earnings per share stood at USD 2.27, according to Ticker Scout in its September 14, 2026 filing summary. Net income was USD 2.17 billion for the quarter, down 1.00 percent year over year.

Management narrowed the full-year 2026 constant-currency revenue outlook to 4.00-5.00 percent from more than 5.00 percent previously, while operating cash flow reached USD 2.60 billion in the second quarter. The contrast matters: IBM is still growing sales, but the reduced outlook leaves less room for execution slippage in the second half.

Next report arrives October 21

The next earnings report is listed for October 21, 2026, according to Sync2Cal. That date will test whether the second-quarter slowdown reflects delayed deals or a more persistent shift in infrastructure demand.

IBM's market capitalization was USD 212.6 billion as of October 1, 2026, while its primary-exchange 52-week range was USD 199.19 to USD 332.46. The Lang & Schwarz price therefore sits well above the company's recent low in its home-currency market context, but the euro quote remains the relevant reference for German investors.
