A Comparative Analysis of SG&A Expenses: IBM vs. Microchip Technology

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, operational efficiency is paramount. This analysis delves into the Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of two industry giants: International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) and Microchip Technology Incorporated, from 2014 to 2023. Over this decade, IBM's SG&A expenses have shown a downward trend, decreasing by approximately 20% from 2014 to 2023. In contrast, Microchip Technology's expenses have surged by nearly 200%, reflecting its aggressive growth strategy.

IBM's peak in 2020, with expenses reaching 23 billion, contrasts sharply with Microchip's steady climb, peaking at nearly 800 million in 2023. This divergence highlights differing strategic priorities: IBM's focus on streamlining operations versus Microchip's expansion. Notably, 2024 data for IBM is missing, indicating potential reporting delays or strategic shifts. This analysis underscores the dynamic nature of operational strategies in the tech sector.
