Redhat has really delivered for IBM and IBM seems not to have messed it up too bad.

Some of this is obvious (linux and mainframes aren't a bad combo). Some of it I'm a bit surprised by (openshift revenue seems strong).

Probably already basically returned purchase price in revenue and much more than purchase price in market cap.

A noticeable thing is

https://www.redhat.com/en

Most of the these type plays the home page has stacked toolbars / marketing / popups / announcements from the parent company and their branding everywhere (IBM XXX powered by Redhat)... I see very little IBM logo or corporate pop-up policy jank on redhat.com.

Nice. When I opened their homepage, I could not find anything obvious that shows they are owned by IBM. Literally, I had to search the HTML source code to find the sequential characters "IBM"!
