IBM's stock has dropped about 5% without new earnings reports, mainly due to delays in closing major mainframe and software deals expected by year-end. The company aims to meet its operating margin expansion target through productivity gains, despite slower revenue growth and margin pressure from the Confluent acquisition. IBM's free cash flow guidance of $10.9 billion for the second half of the year depends on strong Q4 performance, but the dividend appears secure even if targets are missed. Investors are watching the Q3 results on October 21 as the next important event to assess progress and deal closures.
