What moves IBM

International Business Machines Corporation sits in Information Technology. Semiconductors, software, and hardware — the companies building the digital and AI infrastructure the rest of the economy runs on. The forces that matter most for the sector — and therefore for IBM — are:

  • The AI capital-expenditure cycle
  • Interest rates and the cost of long-duration growth
  • Enterprise IT budgets and cloud migration
  • Export controls and the US–China chip race

Congressional trading in IBM

We track these disclosures and read them as one input into the bigger picture: who is positioning, why, and what it implies for capital flows. See the congressional trades tracker for the lawmakers whose filings we watch most closely.
