On January 20, 2008, IBM Corp. (IBM) announced its fiscal 2008 4th quarter results that were mixed, with revenue coming in below expectations but pro forma EPS beating our expectation. Net income from continuing operations were $4.4 billion versus $4.0 billion in the same quarter last year. With aggressive cost-cutting, diluted earnings from continuing operations for the quarter reached $3.28, up 17.1% from $2.80 in the prior-year quarter.

Total revenue of $27.0 billion was down 6.4% (down 1.0% when adjusted for currency) from $28.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. Earnings were boosted by a reduction in the tax rate in the 4th quarter.

We were ahead of the Street in our expectations for the 4th quarter and for full-year 2009.

As a result of large non-US revenue base, IBM Corporation (IBM) has been better insulated from recent weakness in the U.S. economy than many of its peers. IBM's Q308 results indicate its strong position in emerging markets, which should continue to help drive growth. Moreover, the company has focused on driving its bottom line through cost-cutting efforts. The company's long-term prospects look brighter as it maintains a strong position in the software and services market. We therefore maintain our Buy rating on IBM shares, but lower our target price to $100.00, given the weak economic environment.Anita Mohata contributed to this report.Read the full analyst report on IBM "IBM" Free Stock Analysis: Buy?
