The market’s immediate reaction was to send the price of IBM shares down a massive 25%, erasing over $68 billion of its market capitalization in one day. Among other matters, the CEO revealed in a letter to shareholders serious problems in the company’s Z performance. The firm urges IBM investors with substantial losses to submit your losses now and invites persons who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.
