Oppenheimer initiates IBM (IBM) at an outperform rating. With that bullish note in mind, Rick Ducat examines the technical layout on IBM's chart. He shows the outperformance versus the tech sector, overall S&P 500 (SPX) and compares its performance to other major players like Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL) and Amazon (AMZN). Rick adds that IBM's exposure to the quantum computing space adds an interesting wrinkle to its overall business. On the chart, Rick points to $288 as an area of support developing over the last few months. Rick later demonstrates an example options trade for IBM using a neutral to bullish put vertical strategy.
