Wedbush Securities has raised its price target on International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:IBM) from $320 to $350 while maintaining its outperform rating, arguing that a wave of AI-driven disruption fears that weighed on the stock earlier this year has proved unfounded and that the company's underlying momentum across its core product portfolio is strengthening. The upgrade follows what Wedbush describes as a period in which IBM was caught up in what it terms the "AI Ghost Trade," a de-rating driven by concerns that Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding tool, could modernise legacy COBOL systems and bypass IBM's entrenched enterprise install base entirely.
