IBM first-quarter earnings rise on cost cuts Monday April 14, 4:10 pm ET
NEW YORK, April 14 (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - News) said on Monday that quarterly earnings rose for the first time in almost two years, helped by cost cuts and the closure of some old chip-making facilities. Armonk, New York-based IBM, which sells everything from computer services to giant mainframes to software, reported first-quarter income net income of 79 cents per share, up from 68 cents per share a year earlier.
IBM, like many technology companies, cut about 15,000 jobs last year and closed down some older chip-making facilities as it faced an extended downturn in corporate spending.
