Why did Kyndryl stock drop so much today?

Shares fell after a KD earnings miss (US$0.52 vs US$0.60 expected; US$3.86 billion revenue) and the disclosure of a CFO departure plus an internal accounting review. That combination raised uncertainty about financials and guidance, prompting a sharp re‑pricing and heavy volume.

What exactly is the KD earnings miss?

Kyndryl reported adjusted EPS of US$0.52 for Q3, below the US$0.60 consensus, and revenue of US$3.86 billion, also below estimates. The shortfall signaled softer operating performance than the market expected, which pressured Kyndryl stock even before governance concerns intensified.

How do the accounting review and CFO exit affect Kyndryl stock?

Reviews can lead to delays, changes to reported numbers, or added controls, which raise uncertainty. A clean outcome could support stabilization. Any restatement, prolonged review, or further leadership turnover could extend pressure and keep valuation multiples suppressed.

What should Canadian investors watch next?

Watch for scope and findings from the accounting review, any guidance updates, and the next earnings date on May 6, 2026. Consider FX costs when trading U.S. shares, manage position size, and look for improving cash conversion before increasing exposure to Kyndryl stock.
