Truist sets $240 price target for IBM ahead of Oct 21 earnings, rating 'Hold' due to modest growth and possible overvaluation.

Truist Financial analyst Arvind Ramnani has set a $240 price target for IBM, about 5.9% above its recent closing price of $226.61 on October 8, 2026. IBM is expected to report earnings on October 21, with forecasts of $2.89 earnings per share and $16.82 billion in revenue, reflecting modest growth. Despite strong recurring software revenue, analysts rate IBM as a "Hold" due to concerns about potential overvaluation and uncertainty from delayed deals and uneven software sales. The stock recently gained 2.77%, outperforming the broader market declines, but has faced an 8.1% drop over a prior period amid sector gains.
