IBM announces $150 Billion in U.S. investments
IBM has announced plans to invest $150 billion in the United States over the next five years, with over $30 billion allocated specifically to research and development in areas such as mainframe and quantum computing.
To fuel this news, following the investment announcement, IBM's shares rose by 1% and have gained 7% overall in 2025.
And this move is part of a broader trend among major multinational corporations to increase their U.S. investment following President Donald Trump's return to office and the implementation of pro-manufacturing policies and tariffs.
According to Bloomberg's report, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna emphasized the company’s long-standing commitment to American jobs and advanced computing technologies.
"We have been focused on American jobs and manufacturing since our founding 114 years ago, and with this investment and manufacturing commitment we are ensuring that IBM remains the epicenter of the world's most advanced computing and AI capabilities," Krishna stated.
Other major corporations following similar paths include Apple, which will invest $500 billion in the U.S. over four years; Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, with a $100 billion commitment to U.S. manufacturing; and Roche, investing $50 billion in the U.S. over five years.
Besides IBM, companies like Apple and Nvidia are also showing interest in investing heavily in the US manufacturing units to boost the economy and create jobs.
