It has attempted to reposition itself to focus on AI and cloud computing, most notably with the purchase of open-source software provider Red Hat in a bid to strengthen its hand in the hybrid cloud market.
This will be the first earnings announcement by the technology giant since its acquisition of Red Hat, and investors will likely to be paying close attention for early signs as to whether the purchase is set to prove worthwhile.
Bernie Sanders challenges US healthcare
Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders will today give a high-profile speech in which he will set out a plan to radically overhaul US healthcare.
In his address, the Vermont Senator is set to outline his Medicare for All proposal, which would see the current insurance-based system replace by a universal healthcare system similar to the UK’s NHS.
According to his team, Sanders will “’confront the Democratic opponents of Medicare for All and directly challenge the insurance and drug industry”.
Sanders will give the address at George Washington University in Washington DC from 4pm local time (12 midnight London time).
