Tourlite Capital Management made the following regarding Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:KD) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

“Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:KD): Despite making strong progress in its post spin-off initiatives and receiving multiple sellside upgrades, we believe Kyndryl remains undervalued. Current gross margins are significantly below normalized levels, and a significant portion of their new high-margin signings are still in backlog. Over the next two years, we anticipate high-margin signings to comprise over 60% of revenue, leading to incremental gross margins of approximately 4%. While operating in a capital-intensive industry, Kyndryl exhibits characteristics of a resilient business: predictable revenue from long-term contracts (>5 years), customer stickiness, and the ability to pass on inflationary costs. There remains ongoing work to address a sizable unprofitable account.”
