Rewey Asset Management stated the following regarding Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:KD) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:

“Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:KD) was our weakest performer in 4Q25, as it initiated a disappointing 2026 revenue growth forecast down 2 to 3%, vs. expectations of turning the corner to revenue growth, albeit a modest 1%. Additionally, the company unexpectedly replaced its CFO and General Counsel and noted it would report a financial reporting control deficiency in its 10K. Despite these setbacks, we think the KD transformation story remains in-tact, and that post IBM-spin revenue will accelerate in 2026 at higher margins. Notably, management reaffirmed its target of generating over $1 billion in free cash flow in fiscal 2028 (March 2028), which implies a potential a 34.2% FCF yield at the quarter-end stock price.”
