Entrepreneur and stockbroker William O'Neil founded the newspaper in 1984 due to frustration with the lack of data about stocks in newspapers. In 1991, the publication's name was changed from Investor's Daily to Investor's Business Daily. In 1994, ten years after its founding, IBD was ranked among the fastest-growing newspapers in the country.

During the 2016 presidential election in the U.S., IBD was one of two polls that consistently showed Donald Trump in the lead. Leading up to the election, IBD's poll was dismissed as being an "outlying survey" and in the end missed the final popular vote tally by four percentage points in Trump's favor.
