IBM靠AI主機板塊逆勢增長盈利大超預期

IBM第二季度業績超預期 AI推動主機銷售回升

IBM周三公布的第二季度收入和利潤均超出華爾街預期,主要受惠於其主機業務的銷售回暖。隨著人工智能(AI)升級推動對主機系統的需求增長,這些能處理海量數據的系統重新吸引客戶投資。

在宏觀經濟不確定性和持續的貿易談判背景下,企業紛紛將資金優先投入快速增長的AI基礎設施擴建。儘管今年IBM股價已飆升近30%,但公司股價在盤後交易中仍下跌約4%。

財務主管Jim Kavanaugh接受路透社訪問時表示:「我們仍然處於一個非常動態的宏觀經濟環境中。」

IBM最新款主機於6月開始銷售,該系統配備專門為AI應用研發的芯片,推動第二季度收入增長,結束了上一代主機系統三年的銷售周期。

根據倫敦證券交易所集團(LSEG)數據,IBM第二季度收入達169.8億美元,同比增長近8%,超出分析師平均預期的165.9億美元。基礎設施部門(包括主機業務)收入為41.4億美元,顯著高於預期的38.1億美元。

IBM此次未提供第三季度業績預測,打破了其以往慣例。4月份時,公司曾因應美國總統特朗普推行全球關稅措施而發布一次性季度指引,為投資者提供更多明確性。Kavanaugh表示:「當時的季度指引主要是因為外匯市場前所未有的波動,我們當時面對的情況與90天前截然不同。現在外匯市場已趨於穩定,我們回歸標準的做法。」

IBM的諮詢業務銷售額也增長了3%,達到53.1億美元,結束了連續五個季度的收入下滑。隨著企業越來越多地尋求專業知識來整合AI產品並在快速變化的經濟環境中優化運營,IBM的諮詢服務需求明顯回升。

IBM所謂的「AI業務組合」——涵蓋多種產品的訂單和實際銷售額——增長至75億美元,較上一季度增加了15億美元。

第二季度調整後每股收益為2.80美元,同樣超出市場預期。

編輯評論:AI推動下IBM重拾活力,科技轉型成關鍵

IBM這次業績亮眼,最核心的推手無疑是AI技術帶動的主機銷售回升。過去幾年,IBM主機業務曾因技術更新周期和市場需求變化而相對低迷,但AI的爆發式增長為其帶來了新的生命力。配備專為AI設計芯片的主機,不僅滿足了企業對大數據處理的龐大需求,更成為企業AI基礎設施的中堅。

此外,諮詢業務的止跌回升也值得關注。這反映出企業在數碼轉型過程中對專業顧問的依賴加深,尤其是在AI整合和經濟不確定性中尋求策略指導。IBM能夠提供從硬件到軟件再到諮詢的全方位解決方案,這種生態系統優勢將成為其未來競爭的重要籌碼。

不過,IBM股價在業績公布後反而下跌,顯示市場對其持續增長的信心仍存疑慮。這也提醒投資者,面對宏觀經濟波動和技術快速演進,企業需要不斷創新和調整策略才能保持領先。

總結來說,IBM在AI推動下的主機業務回暖,配合諮詢服務的復甦,為其轉型注入新動力。未來如何持續擴大AI業務規模,並在競爭激烈的雲計算和AI市場中保持優勢,將是IBM成敗的關鍵。這對香港及全球科技市場的投資者來說,都是一個值得密切關注的信號。
