If it is percieved that IBM did not meet expectations, and Compaq clearly beats expectations, that is not all bad (for CPQ).

According to this Techweb article here,

techweb.com

"According to First Call, Wall Street was expecting diluted earnings of $2.15 a share for the quarter. IBM's earnings of $2.11 a share were on a diluted basis, which includes options, warrants, and convertible secturities in the calculation. On a basic earnings per share, IBM earned $2.16 a share."
