IBM has exceeded expectations with sales, reinforcing its software products. IBM released its financial results for the quarter ended September, presenting a 5% increase in sales that surpasses the expectations of investors. The growth was mainly due to the recovery of infrastructure transactions, which had been interrupted during the first half of the current year. Bloomberg's analysis indicates that IBM's infrastructure is expanding by 4%, reaching $3.7 billion, exceeding Wall Street's expectations. IBM's finance president, Jim Kavanaugh, emphasized that most of the infrastructure transactions that were interrupted in the first half of this year have been rescheduled.

IBM has revived its growth strategy by acquiring strategic companies such as Red Hat, HashiCorp, and Confluent. In the quarter, IBM anticipated an increase of 10% in its revenue but revised its annual profit forecast based on third-quarter results that exceeded expectations. In terms of market share, IBM saw a rise of approximately 5% among its shareholders with shares increasing by around 5%. This led to a roughly 5% increase in IBM's equity, which reached $251.46 at the end of this day. IBM also announced that its software products, including infrastructure software, have achieved sales volumes of $7.8 billion, exceeding the financial backers' forecasts.

This result is mainly due to the resumption of infrastructure transactions that were interrupted during the first half of this year. The finance president of IBM has highlighted that most of the infrastructure transactions that were interrupted in the first half of the current year have been reassigned, thus confirming IBM's strategy of strengthening its software business through strategic acquisitions.
