International Business Machines stock may still have further to go despite its big rally this year.

According to FactSet, the consensus among analysts is for IBM to report revenue of $16.6 billion with adjusted earnings per share of $2.65 for the second quarter. Analysts' estimate for the current quarter's revenue is $16.1 billion, with EPS of $2.44.

Last week, Stifel analyst David Grossman reaffirmed his Buy rating and raised his price target for IBM to $310 from $290, citing the strength of its software business.

IBM stock has risen "reflecting improving execution, FCF growth and the company's defensive characteristics," he wrote, referring to free cash flow. "We believe the risk/reward remains attractive."

IBM stock closed at $281.96 on Tuesday, with a gain of 28% so far this year, compared with the 8.2% rise for the Nasdaq Composite.

Grossman noted IBM has been able to expand its software business, benefiting from its powerful distribution capabilities and large customer base. Investors have also grown more optimistic about the company's artificial-intelligence efforts.
