After the closing bell on Tuesday, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) released its fourth quarter financial results. Here’s what the results mean for mutual fund investors.

Earnings

The company reported earnings of $5.48 billion, or $5.54 per share, down from $6.19 billion, or $5.77 per share, last year. Excluding special items, earnings were $5.81 per share – above analysts’ estimate of $5.41 per share.

Revenue
Revenue came in at $24.11 billion, down from $27.39 billion last year. Analysts expected to see revenue of $24.77 billion.

At a glance, shares of IBM appear to be attractively valued. However, investors should be aware that the decline of EPS estimates will impact the stock’s valuation. Investors should also pay attention to the company’s decline in free cash flow and EPS.

If IBM is able to stabilize its earnings, the company does offer a fairly attractive dividend of 2.80% with a relatively low payout ratio of just 27%, which means there is room to raise its dividend in the years ahead.
