IBM stock (US4592001014) held near USD 234.90 after the July 22, 2026 quarter showed revenue of USD 17.16 billion and adjusted EPS of USD 2.93, while the market value stood at USD 221.29 billion on September 6, 2026. Companies Market Cap and MarketBeat both point to a stock that is still priced off the same earnings print.

Revenue and EPS stay in view

The quarter ended July 22, 2026 brought USD 17.16 billion in revenue, up 1.1 percent from USD 16.98 billion a year earlier, and EPS of USD 2.93 versus USD 2.80 in the prior-year quarter. MarketBeat also shows net margin at 15.52 percent and return on equity at 35.65 percent for the same report.

Consensus came in higher on revenue at USD 17.46 billion, so the gap was USD 300 million even though EPS matched estimates at USD 2.93. That combination keeps the debate on execution rather than headline growth.

Price and valuation gap

IBM opened at USD 234.87 on September 7, 2026, after a September 4 close of USD 234.89, with an intraday range from USD 231.68 to USD 236.17. ad-hoc-news.de cited that session and added a 0.08 percent daily gain, while MarketScreener showed a CBOE close of USD 234.90 and a 5-day change of 0.12 percent on September 4, 2026.

The stock therefore traded at about 1.06 times the September 6 market-cap figure of USD 221.29 billion and stayed within a tight band around the recent close. For investors, the key question is whether the next quarter narrows the USD 300 million revenue gap to consensus.

What the business sells

IBM's latest reported numbers still reflect a business driven by software, consulting and infrastructure rather than a single product spike. The July 22, 2026 quarter's USD 17.16 billion in revenue and USD 2.93 EPS show that the group is still converting that mix into solid earnings power.

Trade level on the board

IBM stock changed hands at USD 234.90 on September 4, 2026, with the market capitalization at USD 221.29 billion as of September 6, 2026. The combination leaves the shares in a narrow range after the July 22 earnings update.
