how much money does IBM have in cash?

IBM has three options:

1. continue its stock buyback program since IBM is currently undervalued

2. simply increase the dividend

3. split the stock.

IMO, IBM should buyback another 1 billion dollars of stock and then once that objective is completed, raise the dividend by 25%. if after all of this the stock price is around 190 to 210, the stock should be split 3 for 1.

that way the dividend payout will come from the capital gains of the bot back stock.

this is the best way for long term shareholders to get the best value out of the company and still provide cash leverage for R&D and M&A.
