IBM has maintained its dividend increase streak for 31 years, but the company behind the payouts has changed significantly. While software now makes up nearly 45% of IBM's revenue with steady recurring income, growth is modest and raises are minimal, often just a penny at a time. The company balances dividend payments with heavy spending on acquisitions and quantum computing investments, leading to rising debt and reduced cash reserves.
