The real question is (and this is serious): how is it working out for them?

  20 straight quarters (from Arpil this year) of revenue decline would tell me IBM has problems, though they may have nothing to do with where they source the labor from. http://www.businessinsider.com/ibm-revenue-decline-20-straight-quarters-chart-2017-4 http://www.businessinsider.com/ibm-revenue-decline-20-straig...

    so should one be shorting the stock???

      No, the margin interest will eat you alive. It's a decline, nowhere near a collapse. IBM still has a tremendous amount of good will.

  Badly. They've lost many clients because of it. Disney was one of their biggest; they jumped ship a few years ago due to constant missed deadlines and poor work. I used to work for IBM. We had a few workers in India who were decent to good, but most of them are just seat warmers. Their work was abysmal and required frequent re-doing.

    really? I distinctly remember Disney doing the exact same thing, to the point where they paid their current employees to train their own offshore replacements [0] [0] https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html?mcubz=3 https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff...

      There's a difference between offshoring and outsourcing to H1B visa exploiters.
