The ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russia-ukraine-war">Russia-Ukraine war</a>, with new developments in Europe and the U.S., could face a major inflection point hinging on the outcome of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 U.S. election</a>.
The Latest: A Russian drone attack on Ukraine overnight put neighboring Romania in the crossfire, <a href="https://t.me/s/kpszsu/16933">according</a> to a Telegram post from the Ukrainian Air Force. 
Russia launched 38 kamikaze drones at Ukraine, three of which strayed into Romanian airspace. Romanian Foreign Minister Luminiţa Odobescu <a href="https://x.com/Odobes1Luminita/status/1816411760229843383">said</a> that debris was found in Romania.
Stateside, Russian and Chinese bombers were <a href="https://www.norad.mil/Newsroom/Press-Releases/Article/3849184/norad-detects-tracks-and-intercepts-russian-and-prc-aircraft-operating-in-the-a/">intercepted</a> by the U.S. flying over Alaska on Wednesday. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC H-6 military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone. NORAD did not label the breach as a threat, though it said it will continue to monitor activity in the airspace.
Meanwhile, the closely-watched U.S. presidential election saw a major shake-up on Sunday as the presumptive Democratic nominee, President Joe Biden, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39874057/biden-drops-out-of-2024-race-in-bombshell-announcement-it-has-been-the-greatest-honor-of-my-life">dropped out of the race</a> against Republican Donald Trump. 
Vice President Kamala Harris will likely be Biden&#8217;s replacement. 
So far, preliminary polling results vary: Harris leads Trump in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39921743/donald-trump-wants-to-take-our-country-backward-says-kamala-harris-in-first-campaign-speech-poll-sho">a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll</a>, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39946360/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-candidates-tied-in-new-poll-65-of-democrats-say-biden-stepping-dow">trails him in others</a>.
Why it Matters: Biden&#8217;s comments toward the Russia-Ukraine conflict have favored <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39678547/biden-slams-russian-missile-strikes-on-ukraines-largest-childrens-hospital-horrific-reminder-of-russ">NATO and Ukraine</a>, while Trump has made comments preempting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37193836/trump-doubles-down-on-controversial-comments-on-nato-allies-no-payment-no-protection">a destabilization of NATO</a>. 
Trump has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30636832/donald-trump-says-he-trusts-putin-more-than-us-intelligence-lowlifes">made favorable remarks</a> about Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/22/putin-dictator-tyrant-criticism-regime">labeled</a> by many as a dictator, has presided over Russia as many of his political rivals have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/02/37207985/alexei-navalnys-final-months-in-prison-books-letters-and-hopes-for-russia">been found dead</a> under mysterious circumstances. Russia has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/22/07/28126423/vladimir-putin-can-walk-and-chew-gum-bracing-up-for-interference-from-russia-in-mid-term-elections-f">attempted to interfere</a> in U.S. elections.
A Trump presidency would likely be partial to Russia. Trump has <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-russia-ukraine-war-un-election-a78ecb843af452b8dda1d52d137ca893">said</a> that he could end the conflict in one day, but such a resolution would likely mean Ukraine ceding land to Russia. Critics of such a plan&nbsp;<a href="https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/calls-to-appease-putin-in-ukraine-ignore-the-lessons-of-history/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">compare</a>&nbsp;it, unfavorably, to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain&#8216;s policy of appeasement against Nazi Germany in the late 1930s.
A March 60 Minutes <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-russia-evidence-60-minutes/">report</a> found that Russia could be behind the mysterious &#8220;Havana Syndrome&#8221; attacks on Americans in the continental U.S. and abroad.

Airspace Breaches, Possible NATO Destabilization: Latest On Russia-Ukraine War Ahead Of US Election

IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) shares were climbing in early trading on Thursday after the company reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39961144/why-ibm-stock-is-trading-higher-on-thursday">second-quarter results</a>.
The results came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On IBM</h1>
Analyst James Schneider reiterated a Buy rating while raising the price target from $200 to $205.
IBM reported revenues of $15.77 billion, slightly higher than consensus of $15.63 billion, with total revenue from continuing operations up 3.8% in constant currency terms, Schneider said in a note. "Software and Infrastructure revenue were above the Street, but Consulting came in below," he added.
The company's earnings from continuing operations came in at $2.43 per share, surpassing Street's $2.18 per share, the analyst stated. Strong AI bookings performance is likely to be "an incremental positive that should help drive share gains in the Consulting business in the medium term," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets On IBM</h1>
Analyst Matthew Swanson maintained an Outperform rating while lifting the price target from $200 to $211.
Results in the quarter were better than expected across most metrics, including outperformance in revenues of $15.8 billion and free cash flows of $2.6 billion versus consensus of $15.6 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, Swanson said. Management maintained its full-year guidance for revenue, while raising the free cash flow forecast to above $12 billion, he added.
The company doubled its GenAI book of business sequentially to $2 billion, the analyst stated. "While bookings remain strong, the Red Hat re-acceleration took a pause, but management is optimistic on 2H growth," he further wrote.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stifel On IBM</h1>
Analyst David Grossman reaffirmed a Buy rating while raising the price target from $190 to $205.
Although IBM delivered a "solid" quarter, this is unlikely to be a catalyst, Grossman said. The "bigger driver is market recognition of 2025 growth set-up including improving software growth, mainframe cycle and stabilizing consulting fundamentals," he added.
"AI-related bookings nearly doubled q/q to ~$2bn, 75% services, more indicative of momentum than near-term revenue," the analyst wrote. Although management was bullish about longer-term opportunities, the revenue contribution of AI is currently small, he further stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">BofA Securities On IBM</h1>
Analyst Wamsi Mohan maintained a Buy rating and price target to $209.
IBM's quarterly results were mixed, with upside being "partly driven by strong Transaction Processing revenues while areas like RedHat were weaker," Mohan said. Despite a weak macro, "the portfolio is delivering on mid-single y/y rev growth in the aggregate," he added.
The company guided to full-year revenue growth "in-line with its mid-single digit model," the analyst stated. "IBM&#8217;s book of business in AI stands at $2bn inception-to-date with 75% from consulting signings and 25% in software," he further wrote.
IBM Price Action: Shares of IBM had risen by 5.49% to $194.06 at the time of publication on Thursday.

According to Trust &amp; Will, the total time from beginning the process to clearing probate court for your estate could be over two years. That&#8217;s two years when your family can&#8217;t access what you left them. That&#8217;s why financial expert Suze Orman suggests getting your financial house in order now.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"> How does it compare to the average?</a></li>
<li>A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a></li>
</ul>
In as little as 30 minutes, you can set up a will, a revocable trust, a financial power of attorney, and an advanced directive. Paired with a durable power of attorney for health care, you&#8217;ll have the systems to ensure your financial and health care decisions are respected and your family is protected.&nbsp;
That&#8217;s a lot of peace of mind in a short time, but according to the latest Gallup Poll findings, only 46% of U.S. adults have wills. And only a small percentage of end-of-life plans include trusts.&nbsp;
The Gallup Poll also shows that upper-income Americans are likelier than lower-income Americans to have a will. There&#8217;s a significant difference based on education and race, with college graduates and white Americans being more likely than college non-graduates and non-White Americans to have a will.&nbsp;

Regardless of your education or race, you can take steps today to shield your wealth for your children, whether that&#8217;s your home, $1,000, or millions. Here are the documents you need and why you need them:
<ol>
<li>A trust is a necessity, even if you don&#8217;t consider yourself wealthy. It keeps you 100% in control. You can set up a revocable trust to always make changes later. The trust ensures that your assets pass to your heirs as seamlessly as possible. </li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>A will ensures all of your possessions are transferred into your trust. This helps to avoid the time-consuming and often expensive probate process, saving your family more. In the will, you will also appoint a guardian for your minor children.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li>A financial power of attorney appoints someone you trust to step in and help manage your finances if the need arises. This can be if you&#8217;re ill or simply don&#8217;t want to deal with financial management in the future. You can give financial power of attorney to anyone you trust, such as an adult child or grandchild.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li>An advance directive spells out your medical wishes. Suppose you can't express what you want. In that case, your advance directive is a legal document that covers your beliefs or request, such as whether you want to be put on life support so that your medical team can respect your wishes, even if you&#8217;re not in a position to advocate for yourself. </li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li>A durable power of attorney for health care is a document that appoints someone to speak up and advocate for you. That person becomes your official health care representative to interface with doctors or a medical team and authorizes appropriate care when you cannot be consulted directly. </li>
</ol>
Then, remember to get the documents notarized if necessary. While that can sound overwhelming, numerous online resources give you templates to organize these documents.
