AI Anxiety Attacks, Is IBM Becoming an "Emotional Outlet"?

This wave of decline is essentially a collective anxiety. In the AI boom, investors fear two words—"slowing down." When IBM's growth guidance falls short of the market's wildest expectations, its stock price is immediately pushed down.
There is a strange phenomenon in the capital markets: the bigger the story, the lower the tolerance for error. AI is seen as the new steam engine of the era, and everyone wants to sit in first class. But IBM is more like a railway dispatcher—ensuring system stability rather than making headlines every day. Its AI strategy emphasizes industry applications and compliance safety, with a steady pace, which in a frenzy cycle seems "not explosive enough."
The 11% drop is more about amplified expectations. Short-term funds chase highly elastic targets, and once they don't fit the "blockbuster template," they quickly retreat. But long-term funds focus on corporate contracts, customer retention, and cash flow quality.
Market sentiment is like the weather—sometimes clear skies, sometimes thunderstorms. IBM is currently getting rained on, but that doesn't mean the roof is leaking; it just means the dark clouds happen to be overhead. Once the emotions settle, what truly determines valuation are profitability and strategic execution. #AI担忧导致IBM暴跌11%
