IBM Awarded $1 Billion for Quantum Computing Research
IBM received a $1 billion award from the U.S. Department of Commerce under the CHIPS Act to support quantum wafer manufacturing research and development. The company is committing an additional $1 billion to its subsidiary Anderon, which operates a quantum wafer foundry in Albany, New York.
IBM's dividend yield stands at 2.71%, supported by a low payout ratio of 56% and modest dividend growth of 0.6% over three years. The company is trading slightly above its GF Value of $242.69, suggesting it is 2.3% overvalued but still fairly valued overall.
