IBM shares fell 26% after reporting preliminary Q2 revenue of $17.2 billion, missing the $17.9 billion Wall Street estimate.
Customers shifted capital spending from IBM's products to chips and servers, causing the miss.
Software peers dropped: Microsoft fell 2%, Workday 6.3%, Salesforce 3.2%, and Autodesk 2.4%.
IT services stocks also fell: Accenture dropped 2.9%, Cognizant 2.2%, and Infosys 2.8%.
The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF slumped up to 2.7%, reflecting broader sector concern about AI-driven demand shifts.
