Why Our AI Rates IBM "Top Buy" For September

Whether or not you "know" IBM, you know IBM: the global technology conglomerate has been the face of electronic innovation for over 100 years. Often called "Big Blue," this company now officially makes the grade for the S&P 500 Aristocrats, as it has just raised its dividend for the 25th consecutive year (though whether or not it will join the index is yet to be seen). These increased dividends come on the back of a rather harsh year. In fact, IBM is one of a handful of major tech names that have not excelled exponentially in the face of work-from-home practices. Once IBM crashed in March, it never fully recovered to pre-pandemic highs – it hasn't moved substantially since June.
