[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	Vanguard Group Inc. is the largest individual shareholder of IBM, owning approximately 10.36% of the company's shares as of December 31, 2025. It holds 97.22 million shares, valued at around $24.08 billion.
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	While Vanguard is the single largest shareholder, no single entity owns a majority of IBM. The company is publicly traded, with ownership broadly distributed among institutional investors, retail investors, and company insiders.
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	Institutional investors collectively own 63.93% of IBM shares.
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	Retail investors hold 35.61%.
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	Company insiders (such as executives and board members) own 0.46%.
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	The top institutional shareholders include:
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	BlackRock, Inc. 8.29%
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	State Street Global Advisors, Inc. 5.86%
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.41%
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	These major shareholders influence IBM through voting rights and governance, but no one shareholder controls the company.

[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	He spewed so much nonsense to get the share price above $300, I sold all the IBM shares I owned over the years above $300. I left IBM, so I do not care, if the Indian steals like a thief.
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	Sorry for the other clowns who believed in his nonsense.
