周三夜盘，科技巨头IBM股价大跌6.20%，主要原因是公司发布的第三季度财报显示核心业务增长放缓，引发投资者担忧。
虽然IBM整体财务表现超出市场预期，第三季度营收达163.3亿美元，同比增长9.1%，但其关键业务板块的增长速度令人失望。备受关注的红帽(Red Hat)部门销售额增长14%，低于分析师平均预期的16%，且较上一季度有所放缓。此外，混合云和软件业务的增长也未能达到投资者的期望。
这一结果引发了市场对IBM核心增长引擎可能失速的担忧。尽管公司首席财务官Jim Kavanaugh表示"对红帽整体的增长机会感觉非常好"，但投资者似乎更相信数据所反映的趋势。值得注意的是，IBM股价今年迄今已上涨约30%，这次财报可能成为部分投资者获利了结的契机。
