How does this compare to IBM's Black Monday crash?
IBM's 25.2% single-day drop topped the company's previous worst day, October 19, 1987's Black Monday, when the stock fell 23.7% alongside a market-wide crash. This time the selloff was narrower: the Nasdaq 100 broadly rose the same day, meaning investors were repricing IBM and software specifically, not panicking across the market.
