IBM Corp. 1Q 2026 Earnings Preview: Can Software Business Withstand AI Wave’s Industry Impact?

IBM is preparing to report its Q1 2026 earnings, with investors closely watching its software business to see if it can maintain growth momentum amidst concerns about AI’s disruptive impact on traditional software models. Despite a year-to-date stock decline partly due to AI-driven panic selling, analysts remain optimistic, focusing on IBM’s hybrid cloud and enterprise AI strategy as its key growth engine. FactSet projects Q1 revenue of $15.63 billion and anticipates software sales to exceed expectations, indicating a potential strong performance for this segment.
