IBM surges as Barclays initiates at Overweight due to software momentum

IBM shares surged 10% in pre-market trading after Barclays initiated coverage with an Overweight rating, citing software momentum. The note highlights IBM's infrastructure software business as well positioned for large, regulated customers. The move is driven by analyst optimism rather than a new earnings release, making it notable for the stock but less likely to have broad market impact.
