The 2026 Q2 earnings season has shown mixed results, with IBM experiencing a significant downturn while Citigroup and Micron reported strong performances. IBM’s preliminary Q2 results indicated disappointing software sales, leading to a nearly 25% drop in stock value. The company’s revenue was affected by shifts in corporate spending, causing delays in closing major deals. In contrast, Citigroup posted Q2 revenues of $24.8 billion, a 14% year-over-year increase, surpassing EPS estimates by over 15%. The bank also announced a 12% dividend hike and a $30 billion buyback program.
Micron’s Q2 results reflected a staggering 350% year-over-year revenue growth, totaling $41.5 billion, while EPS exceeded estimates by 17%. The continued demand for memory solutions amid the AI surge has positioned Micron as a key player in the tech sector, with earnings growing by 1340% year-over-year. The contrasting fortunes of these companies underscore the volatility in the tech market, where performance can drastically differ within the same earnings season.
