IBM will invest $ 150 billion in the US, including quantum computer production facilities, over the next five years, the latest US technology company to support the entrepreneur of the Trump administration for local production.
The company’s announcement on Monday follows similar prayers from technology giants like Nvidia and Apple, both say they will spend about $ 500 billion each in the country next year.
Some analyzes see expense commitments as overtaking for President Trump, whose tariffs threaten to supply supply chains and increase costs to the technology industry.
IBM, also an important government contractor, said that more than $ 30 billion from total investment will be used to expand its production of quantum computers and mainframes – systems used to treat large data and critical application.
The company operates one of the world’s largest fleets of quantum computing systems, which promise to provide performance even more powerful than traditional computers.
“As we believe that IBM will continue to invest in the developing area of quantum technology, the bombastic figure is more likely a gesture to the US administration,” said Davidson Luria analyst, pointing out that Big Tech was using investment prayers as an anti -trade shield.
Recent advances on Quantum computer, including a new generation of chips announced by Google of the Alphabet in December, have fueled interest in the sector, although executives remain divided when technology will have real work applications.
Google aims to issue trading apps in five years, while Nvidia Jensen Huang CEO envisages a 20-year reception for practical uses.
IBM said last week 15 of its government contracts were shelves under a car to reduce costs by the Trump administration, an obstacle that eclipsed the prediction of its youth trimester revenue and sent its lower shares.
The company had money and cash equivalents of $ 14.8 billion since December 31.
It spent $ 1.13 billion on capital spending last year, while total costs were $ 29.75 billion.
