BLUE STREAK: IBM reported higher revenue for the first time in 23 quarters and signaled continued growth into 2018.
TAX IMPACT: IBM took a $5.5 billion charge related to the new U.S. tax law, pushing it into the red. Due to the charge, IBM had a tax rate of 124% for the quarter and 49% for the year. IBM's adjusted tax rate, which excludes the one-time charge, was 6% for the quarter and 7% for the year.
