🟢 International Business Machines is trading 3.89% up in pre-market, with IBM Bob’s self-hosting launch a possible catalyst

International Business Machines is trading at $228.49, up +3.89%, with IBM Bob’s self-hosting launch a possible catalyst for the pre-market gain.

• Announced October 1, IBM Bob can now be self-hosted on customer-controlled infrastructure, including on-premises, private-cloud, sovereign-cloud and air-gapped environments.
• The launch targets enterprises seeking greater control over sensitive code, data and AI governance.
• Broader U.S. futures were modestly higher, with supplied index moves below 0.5%; available reporting does not confirm the launch caused the gain.
