The margin generated by the company is quite high and amounts to 16.7% for 2021, but the prospects for profit growth and increased sales are low. The company has a high debt burden of Leverage (Debt / EBITDA) 2.53x, which makes its shares vulnerable in the event of a market fall. IBM Asset Utilization Low ROA (Net Profit / Asset) 4.40

IBM's strengths: The forecasts of analysts surveyed by Standard & Poor's for business development are very poor. This is either due to good visibility of the main activities, or due to accurate income reports. The company is one of the most profitable companies in the US market, with high dividend expectations.

IBM's weaknesses: The stock is close to its long-term resistance on the weekly time frame. Therefore, the growth potential may be limited. However, further bullish movement at the intersection of this resistance will be a positive signal. The stock is close to the main daily resistance at $131.65, which should be eliminated to get a new growth potential. According to Standard & Poor's forecast, the outlook for revenue growth in the coming fiscal years will be very low. The company demonstrates a fairly high level of debt in proportion to its EBITDA. Over the past few months, analysts have been revising down their revenue forecast. Over the past year, analysts have significantly revised down their earnings estimates.

In the previous 4 weeks, the company's shares behaved positively, and the system gave a buy signal, but the resistance at 132 is confusing. In this regard, it would be nice to get the closing of the week, or even better, the month behind this level. If this condition is met, investors can buy IBM shares for up to 5% of the liquid capital and targets for 160 and 200. Traders should limit the amount of possible losses to 1% of the capital level. It is necessary to think about closing the position when the price falls below the level of 105. It is advisable to be careful and to follow the rules of money management.
