IBM has filed no restructuring notice (Form 8-K, Item 2.05) since 2016. Companies file one only for a cut they judge material, so many announced layoffs never appear as one. This page shows what the company reported to the SEC, not news reports or state layoff notices.

Read from IBM’s annual reports (10-K for 2025, 10-K for 2024, 10-K for 2023, 10-K for 2022) and the financial data it files with the SEC, as of 2026-02-24. Every quotation is word for word from the filing linked beside it; how these pages are built and checked. The full record is in its company data sheet.
