International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), salesforce.com, inc. (CRM), Accenture Plc (ACN): Six Future Trends that Investors Cannot Ignore

Page 2 of 2

The company is primarily growing net income through small amounts of cost cutting and modest revenue growth from the United States. It is projected to grow its earnings by 11.62% on average over the next five years.

The company trades at a 17.2 earnings multiple and pays its investors a 1.98% dividend yield. It is slightly down by 5.59% from its 52-week highs; with the recent market pull-back, this company is a buy on the dip.

Conclusion

I believe big data, organizational structuring, and outsourcing will be some of the largest trends going forward. Investors should look to invest into International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM), and Accenture Plc (NYSE:ACN) to capitalize on these three growing trends in business.
