The IT infrastructure services company posted adjusted EPS of $0.52, falling short of the $0.60 consensus estimate by 13.75%, while revenue of $3.86 billion came in 0.67% below expectations despite growing 3.1% year-over-year. The earnings shortfall was compounded by a $38.00 million pretax loss tied to an interim arbitration decision on a legacy pre-spin matter, which weighed on GAAP net income, and the company disclosed that its 10-Q filing will be delayed pending an internal accounting review, a development that has since drawn multiple securities class action lawsuits alleging inadequate internal controls. Against that backdrop, hyperscaler-related revenue surged 58% to $500.00 million, putting Kyndryl on pace to exceed its $1.80 billion full-year hyperscaler target. Looking ahead, management guided for fiscal 2026 adjusted pretax income of $575.00 to $600.00 million and free cash flow of $325.00 to $375.00 million.
