ARMONK, N.Y. — Shares of International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) finished the trading session with a modest loss on Wednesday, but a robust pre-market rally is suggesting a potential reversal for the tech stalwart as a new day of trading approaches.
IBM common stock closed at
0.79 (0.30%) for the day. The session was marked by notable volatility. After opening at $260.02, slightly below the previous close of $260.51, the stock faced early selling pressure that drove it to a daily low of $256.35. However, buyers entered the market, pushing the shares to a mid-afternoon high of $260.80 before the price settled back down into the close

In a significant turn of events, pre-market activity is painting a much brighter picture. The stock is currently indicated at
0.78 (0.30%). This move effectively erases the entirety of the previous session’s losses, setting the stage for a potentially dynamic market open.
