IBM Says Hard Drive Business Grew, Memory Chips Continued Weak, Earns $1.5 Billion In First Quarter ARMONK, N.Y. (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - news), the world's largest computer maker, said Wednesday its first-quarter income jumped 50 percent to $1.5 billion, exceeding Wall Street's estimates, on a 15 percent increase in revenue. The company said its result meant income of $1.55 a share and came on sales of $20.3 billion. Wall Street analysts surveyed by First Call Corp. had expected IBM to earn $1.41 a share.
