SUMMARY OF EARNINGS

Revenue down

Profitability down

Earnings per share up because of share buybacks

Revenue didn't drop more because of new mainframe product.

Conclusion:

IBM isn't doing well in any new business areas (software, consulting, cloud) to turn this ship around. Mainframe sales won't keep revenue up as the product ages. IBM is still a dog.
