About International Business Machines
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
International Business Machines is based in Armonk, New York and is incorporated in New York. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker IBM. It is a member of the S&P 500 and Dow Jones. The SEC classifies its business as computer & office equipment. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $67.53bn and net income of $10.59bn. At that date it held total assets of $151.88bn and shareholders' equity of $32.65bn.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM or the company) was incorporated in the State of New York on June 16, 1911, as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co.

Since that time, IBM has focused on the intersection of business insight and technological innovation, and its operations and aims have been international in nature. This was signaled over 100 years ago, in 1924, when C-T-R changed its name to International Business Machines Corporation.
