IBM’s software business generated almost 30 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, making it the company's largest business segment. The company's total revenue stood at 67.54 billion U.S. dollars.
IBM’s software business is centered on hybrid cloud platforms, AI, and enterprise infrastructure, helping organizations manage applications and data across environments. A major turning point came with its 2019 acquisition of Red Hat for roughly 34 billion U.S. dollars, which strengthened IBM’s hybrid cloud capabilities through open-source technologies like Linux and OpenShift. While Red Hat has been a key growth driver, IBM’s overall revenue declined in 2021 primarily due to the spin-off of its managed infrastructure services unit, Kyndryl, which reduced the company’s revenue base as part of a shift toward higher-growth, higher-margin segments.
