But not in time for IBM to include the one-time gain to offset the one-time losses in the earnings report this week.

  Surely the deal could have been announced earlier in the week, if they wanted it to. Some other reason caused them to wait to announce it.

    They are saving it for the next quarters. They will run out of things to sell soon enough, IMHO.

    You can announce it whenever, but it needed to close within their quarter to be included.
