STREAK EXTENDED: The performance marked the 39th consecutive quarter in which IBM's earnings per share rose from the previous year.
WORRISOME DEVELOPMENTS: IBM's chief financial officer told analysts the company's faced "more challenging" market conditions in September, the final month of the quarter. Revenue also fell 5 percent from the same time last year amid economic weakness in Europe.
