IBM stock down 22% in 2026 but analysts see 6-11% upside potential in next year

IBM stock has fallen over 22% so far in 2026, yet Truist Securities analyst Arvind Ramnani rates it as 'Hold' with a 12-month price target of $240, implying a 6.37% upside from current levels. The optimism is based on IBM's strong positions in key areas like IBM Z systems, watsonx Orchestrate, Red Hat, and consulting services. However, risks remain due to operational challenges and uncertain timing for AI infrastructure spending to translate into demand. Overall, Wall Street consensus suggests a moderate 11% price increase over the next year despite recent declines and market volatility.
