IBM is splitting itself into two public companies

but is it high-margin, high-growth? The same thing is happening in Germany with Siemens for years... - just 10-20 years later than the US. Once they did everything (for real): car parts, control software, nuclear reactors, trains, solar cells, semiconductors, computers (even mainframes), medicine products, household appliances. Nowadays: BLOCKCHAIN. I guess the job of a chinese "we will rule the world"-planner is a lot easier through western greed, than it should be.

They sold trains and bought into oil & gas exploration. If high growth is what they're aiming for I'm not sure they picked the right horse.

They still do almost all of those things. Look at their yearly report. They are also making huge profits from them.
