Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP is investigating International Business Machines Corporation for potential securities fraud. The probe follows a significant stock decline on July 14, 2026. IBM shares plummeted over 25% during intraday trading after the company reported disappointing second-quarter results. Investigators are examining if IBM misled investors regarding new business deal velocity and the IBM Z product outlook.

Separately, IBM announced a collaboration with Indian AI firm Sarvam to develop sovereign AI technologies. The initiative integrates IBM’s Sovereign Core with Sarvam’s AI stack. This partnership targets use cases for government agencies and regulated enterprises. The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of governed AI capabilities across India.
