I have some cells that contain data like: (IBM) Ibm corporation. I

The pattern [A-Z] will match any single capital letter, so your
string will match (I) but not (IBM). You need something like
"\([A-Z]+\)" - where the "+" after the "[A-Z]" makes the combination
match one or more consecutive capital letters.
I trust this helps.
