IBM stock was among the latest notable moves that turned heads this earnings season. The stock jumped over eight percent, after beating earnings expectations, along with the company’s encouraging growth in software and its AI book of business.
Scott Bauer already had IBM stock on his radar going into their quarterly report. He released a Live Trade Signal for the stock two days before its earnings announcement. When Scott exited the position—on the same day of IBM’s earnings announcement—his trade signal showed an 84%* result.
