IBM盈利攀升股价反跌

　　IBM， the world's largest technology services company， reported 11 percent profit growth but its shares fell 5 percent as the results failed to beat the targets of some investors who had driven the stock up recently.

　　IBM's earnings report， released after the market closed Thursday， showed an 11 percent gain in net profit， to $3.54 billion， or $2.31 per share， from $3.19 billion， or $1.99 per share， a year earlier.

　　In the fourth quarter， the company closed $17.8 billion in services contracts， a hefty leap from $10.5 billion in the prior quarter and $11.5 billion a year ago.

　　IBM第四会计季度盈利攀升11%，但是股价却下跌了近5%。这一股价没有达到一些投资人士的预期。

　　IBM上周四宣布的财报显示，第四财季的盈利较上年同期增长11%，达35.4亿美元，即每股盈利2.31美元，上年同期的盈利为31.9亿美元，合每股盈利1.99美元。

　　IMB于去年第四季度签署了价值178亿美元的服务合约，比第三季度105亿美元及上年同期的115亿美元大幅增加。
