Last I knew it was mostly (in Eurpoe at least) a service company. From a leaked memo in the late 2010s it was inferred that two thirds of the IBM workforce were in India. Hardware-wise they survive because large corporations are stuck with their mainframes. Other hardware was good, but they never understood that not everybody wants nuclear-blast-proof hardware to run a grocery store.
Officially IBM bought RedHat, but in practice the RedHat CEO became the IBM CEO...And they have the knack to acquire a thriving startup and completely kill it in a couple of years because they don't understand what made it great. So if RedHat is still around it's either a miracle or it actually runs IBM.
Google? I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for at least the last ten years. I hardly use Google as a search engine these days.
