IBM (IBM) Stock Forecast: Next 30 Days
Over the next 30 days, IBM stock has an 80% calibrated probability range of $227.38 to $283.98, relative to its latest close of $252.51. The market model indicates balanced tails rather than a clear directional trend, with a 10% probability of falling more than 10% and a 16% probability of rising more than 10%. With no tested 30-day directional edge from price history alone, the median expectation of $254.11 serves only as a distributional center.
