I think that besides the stock price foreacst, investors should consider the dividend yield as one of the good instruments to get the profit on stock market. I would like to review all the technological companies which dividend yield is over than 3%. Among the US based companies, IBM provides the highest dividend yield. However, the stock is down more than 13% YTD and more than 34% over the last 3 years. $IBM, International Business Machines Corporation / 1440 Technological market right now is very competitive, especially with enormous growth of different niche startups. The buggest decline of the financial metrics will be in 2015, the company is going to decrease its EBITDA for almost $3B. I would like to check the company's latest 10Q report and try to find out, if the stock will continue to go down or change the trend: Revenue dropped down significantly for three months: from $22.4B (2014) to $19.3B (2015). However, this decline was driven by the currency fluctuations ($1.9B) and System x diversture. IBM sold its System x to Lenovo for $2.3 after complex deal. The most important fact is that IBM did not sell off the Power Systems - the most important source of revenue. Note: Power Systems offer servers built with open technologies and designed for mission-critical applications; Revenue for the most important business segments (cloud, mobile, analytics and security) for three months ended September 2015 grew up 17%. This growth rate could be even higher without currency fluctuations (27%);Net income for 9 months grew up more than 33%: from $6.5B to $8.7B - that's a good sign, because even without the System x sell off the company could keep approximately the same level of net income marginality;All the company's revenues from Global Technology services decreased due to currency fluctuations; IBM acquired the company Merge Healthcare company, the deal was closed on October 13, 2015. Merge Healthcare company is a good niche player, that provides the software solutions that facilitate the sharing of images to create an electronic healthcare experience for patients and physicians. Company's financials are really fruitful: $227M in revenue last year, $39.5M in EBITDA. However, the price paid for this business is almost $1B or almost 4x Revenue. I think that this acquisition will benefit both businesses. The good fact, as I have already mentioned, that IBM keeps the Power Systems and works on System z - more powerfull and, I hope, will be more profitable than System x. IBM's business highly depends on the currency fluctuations. I assume that the investors should consider buying the IBM stock hedging it with short currency positions. IBM has a good dividend yield and as soon as the currency will be more or less stable - the stock will go up. What do you think about this IT giant? Do you prefer to invest into stock price growth or dividend yield attracts you as well?
