(E-Business) IBM Tops Forecasts for the Quarter – New York Times

Yet its strong performance in the fourth quarter, analysts say, mainly points to the success of its strategy in recent years of tilting toward higher-profit software and services and reducing its reliance on the computer hardware business, which suffers more in down economic cycles. In the fourth quarter, earnings for the 75 technology companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index are expected to drop 19 percent, according to analysts’ forecasts compiled by Thomson Reuters. That is a sharp retreat from the Wall Street consensus in early October, when analysts forecast tech sector profits to rise 8 percent in the fourth quarter. Other technology suppliers like Seagate Technology , the largest maker of disk drives, and Advanced Micro Devices , a chip maker, have announced salary cuts and layoffs. About 40 percent of its revenue and 60 percent of its profit come from products and services sold on a subscription basis as licenses or contracts that are renewed every year or so. read more
