    <description><![CDATA[IBM shares plummeted 25% on July 14 after preliminary Q2 results fell short of expectations, the company's worst trading day on record (surpassing its prior worst day, October 19, 1987). CEO Arvind Krishna told investors that in late June, clients shifted quarterly capex toward servers, storage, and memory purchases to secure supply-constrained AI infrastructure ahead of expected price increases, causing large software and consulting deals to slip. IBM guided to Q2 revenue of $17.2B and adjusted EPS of $2.93, both below consensus.]]></description>
