IBM’s Slump One for the Record Books
If it weren’t for IBM IBM -8.20%, the Dow would be up by more than 100 points.
Instead, it’s down for the day.
Big Blue’s shares dropped as much as $16.11, or 7.8%, to $191.04 on Friday, after the tech giant’s quarterly results fell short of analysts’ expectations. IBM’s drop, alone, subtracted as many as 123.73 points from the price-weighted Dow, which is more heavily swayed by components with larger stock prices (such as IBM) as opposed to smaller ones (such as Bank of America BAC +2.01%).
The Dow recently fell 20 points, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Comp were trading in positive territory. While the Dow has suffered back-to-back days of losses, it has yet to incur three straight days of declines in 2013, its longest stretch ever to kick off a new year. That streak is in jeopardy.
At session lows, IBM suffered its biggest one-day dollar drop since October 2000, and its largest percentage decline since May 6, 2010, the day of the Flash Crash.
IBM’s decline also wiped about $18 billion off its market capitalization, or roughly the equivalent of the the Gap’s entire market cap. IBM’s market cap is still above $215 billion and remains in the top 10 of the S&P 500, lagging behind Exxon Mobil Corp XOM +0.45%Apple Inc. AAPL +0.75% and others. |
