IBM Shares Plunge 25 Percent in Record Single-Day Drop After Q2 Earnings Warning

IBM issued a preliminary Q2 earnings warning, reporting revenue of $17.2 billion against the expected $17.86 billion, sending its shares down 25 percent in the worst single-day drop in company history. CEO Arvind Krishna attributed the shortfall to weak demand in software and infrastructure divisions.
