IBM reported preliminary Q2 revenue of $17.2 billion, up 1% year-over-year, with GAAP EPS of $2.27 and Operating (Non-GAAP) EPS of $2.93. The quarter was marred by a significant infrastructure revenue shortfall of 7%, which CEO Arvind Krishna attributed to execution failures, large deals that failed to close, and client capex shifts.
