IBM misses earnings as enterprises cut legacy IT spend to build own AI infrastructure

IBM reported earnings and revenue below expectations due to enterprises reducing spending on traditional IT systems to invest in their own AI infrastructure. This shift indicates companies prefer developing on-premises AI solutions with cheaper open-source models rather than relying on costly frontier AI models hosted by hyperscalers. The trend reflects a broader AI infrastructure bubble burst, where overinvestment in expensive AI datacenters by hyperscalers contrasts with enterprise demand for more affordable AI options. This change may reshape the AI market and investment strategies going forward.
