| IBM met earnings estimates and beat revenue estimates after the close on Wednesday, but Big Blue's stock declined after hours because much of the gains came from favorable currency translations.
IBM's earnings of 98 cents a share matched analysts' estimates, and revenues of $21.63 billion, up 10% year-over-year, came in ahead of $21.43 billion estimates. IBM also reaffirmed full-year guidance, but traders viewed the lack of upside guidance as one more sign of a lackluster economy and IT spending environment.
