Technical Rating and Analysis

7

We assign a technical rating of 7 out of 10 to IBM. This is due to a consistent overall performance, although we see some doubts in the very recent evolution. In the medium time frame things are still looking good.

In the last month IBM has a been trading in the 252.75 - 295.61 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the lows of this range.
Prices have been falling strongly lately, it is better to avoid new long positions here.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days. In combination with the strong move down this is a bad signal.
Looking at the yearly performance, IBM did better than 80% of all other stocks. We also observe that the gains produced by IBM over the past year are nicely spread over this period.
IBM is one of the better performing stocks in the IT Services industry, it outperforms 70% of 82 stocks in the same industry.
IBM is currently trading in the upper part of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near a new high, so IBM is lagging the market slightly.
IBM has an average volume of 4196200 traded shares per day. This is a good sign as it is always nice to have a liquid stock.
The short term trend is negative, but the long term trend is still positive. So although the long term is still positive, this may be a trend turning.

Setup Rating and Analysis

3

Although IBM has an excellent technical rating, it does not offer a high quality setup at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
