Insights

IBM delivered strong Q2 with 8% revenue growth, significant margin expansion, and raised full-year outlook for profit and cash flow.

IBM's Q2 2025 results significantly exceeded expectations across all key metrics. Revenue grew 8% (5% constant currency) to $17.0 billion, with impressive performance across all major segments. Software revenue increased 10%, Infrastructure jumped 14%, and Consulting rose 3%.

The company's strategic focus on AI is yielding tangible results, with their generative AI book of business now exceeding $7.5 billion. This represents a substantial acceleration in AI adoption among IBM's enterprise clients. Red Hat revenue grew an impressive 16%, highlighting the success of IBM's hybrid cloud strategy.

Margin performance was particularly notable, with gross profit margin expanding 200 basis points to 58.8% on a GAAP basis and 230 basis points to 60.1% on a non-GAAP basis. This drove pre-tax income up 17% and EPS up 18% year-over-year to $2.31.

Cash flow metrics remained robust with year-to-date free cash flow of $4.8 billion, up $0.3 billion from the prior year. Based on this strong performance, management raised their full-year free cash flow guidance to more than $13.5 billion, while maintaining their revenue growth outlook of at least 5% at constant currency.

The Infrastructure segment's performance deserves special attention, with IBM Z revenue surging 70%, likely indicating a new mainframe cycle gaining traction. However, this was partially offset by a 15% decline in Distributed Infrastructure.

IBM continues to prioritize shareholder returns, declaring a quarterly dividend of $1.68 per share, maintaining their remarkable streak of consecutive quarterly dividends since 1916. The balance sheet shows $15.5 billion in cash and marketable securities, providing ample flexibility for strategic investments.
