IBM Corp. (IBM)

As a result of its large non-US revenue base, IBM Corporation (<a href=http://www.zacks.com/stock/quote/ibm>IBM</a>) has been better insulated from the recent weakness in the U.S. economy than many of its peers. IBM&#39;s Q109 results indicate its strong position in emerging markets, which should continue to help drive growth. <p> Moreover, the company has focused on driving its bottom line through cost cutting efforts. It re-affirmed EPS guidance for the full year of 2009 and 2010. Although, revenue is not expected to grow by much, we expect margin improvements in 2009. <p> The company&#39;s long-term prospects look brighter as it maintains a strong position in the software and services market. We maintain our Buy rating on IBM shares and maintain our price target of $120.00.
