For International Business Machines Corp., earnings may need to be “nearly pristine” to preserve the stock in a tough environment for companies’ tech-budget decisions.

IBM IBM , which now receives about three-quarters of its revenue from tech services, reports first-quarter earnings Wednesday after the close of markets. In a recent note, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring said he is leaning “tactically cautious” into the report because of continued uncertainty about IT budgets in 2023.

Over the past year, IBM has warned about currency headwinds because of strength in the dollar, with the U.S. Dollar Index DXY reaching a 52-week high in mid-September. Comparisons should be easier this report given the DXY index is only up 1.8%, compared with 12 months ago.
