Does anybody advocate for IBM?
#7
I'm confused. Why is a P/E of 20 "solid" for a company that's decreased EPS over 14% annually for the last 5 years, a payout ratio over 100% and has a debt to equity ratio of over 3x? I get that it looks a little better when you consider price to cash flow but I don't think there's much else to recommend it. I'm not even sure T has underwhelmed that badly.
