"Be dead" usually means having a low P/E and little REAL stock price appreciation (that comes with low P/E and high dividends).
IBMs stock price was $100 in the 2000s. It's only $133 now. If it adjusted for inflation - that would be $173 today. You lost about 25% in real depreciation to get about ~3% per year yield in dividends (taxed as income $$$).
You can do better with Treasuries.
So why take the risk on Big Blue?
Not uncommon for someone to describe a company like this as "dead" - even if it is, presumably, providing some economic value.
