Mark what valuation effect do see if IBM does "acquisition by stock" ?

" Revenues and earnings haven't grown very much, so the company could use the cash better by making acquisitions. "

Assuming a purchase of an entire operation where IBM does not have a strong market position , and wherein the "value-add" of the combination produces immediate additional sales/profits .

Assuming no DOJ objections , a stock exchange , and further commitment by IBM to use its excess cash to fund expansion .

The effect on IBM's stock ?

Thanks,
Jim K.
