IBM Q2 Earnings Call Flags Execution Reset and Lower Growth

IBM cut its 2026 revenue growth outlook due to delayed software deals, signaling caution around near-term demand. Management noted that early Q3 closures and strength in infrastructure should support a second-half rebound. Overall, the guidance reset is a modest headwind but partially offset by ongoing sales momentum.
