IBM Corp said its board had approved a $5 billion share buyback in addition to the $1.4 billion remaining from its existing programme.
The company has been criticised for pursuing buybacks at the expense of investment in new technology.
IBM spent $13.5 billion to repurchase stock in the first nine months of the year, more than double its net income.
