Market Prism's verdict on IBM

Market Prism classifies IBM as Overvalued Stable — the price sits above what the narrative justifies, but the story isn't actively breaking down. Narrative energy remains elevated at 100%, so the story still has momentum.

What happens next for IBM

Overvalued-but-stable names can hold a premium for a while. The risk is asymmetric: limited upside, with a long way to fall if the story cracks. The 81.7% fair-value deviation is extreme and, historically, tends to revert within 30–60 trading days.
