Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

IBM's protection is based on high switching costs, as replacing its mainframe systems requires rewriting decades of core banking code, making the cost measured in risk rather than price. Despite this, IBM's revenue grew 1.10% in the most recent quarter while earnings fell 1.30%.
