International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) stock is losing ground Thursday despite posting a better-than-expected first-quarter report yesterday. The company's share price had fallen 7.5% as of 12:15 p.m. ET amid the backdrop of a 1.2% gain for the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and a 1.8% jump for the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC). IBM posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share of $1.60 on sales of $14.54 billion in the first quarter.

Big names like Texas Instruments and ServiceNow soared after strong earnings, lifting the overall market mood. But not all stocks joined the party—IBM dragged the Dow with a 0.1% dip, and Procter & Gamble along with Chipotle slipped. Investors are closely watching these mixed signals, especially with AI-related and chip stocks in focus.
