Companies, two big disappointments and two stocks that carry a lot of weight. One of them the dow, the other the nasdaq, big blues Quarterly Report out after the market close was another in a long line of revenue misses, income continues to be hurt by sharp declines in hardware sales. Ibm earned 2. 54 a share, right along with predictions but revenue missed coming in at 22 and a half billion, less than expected. That sent shares initially lower in afterhours trading.
