KD’s earnings surprise history is impressive. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the four trailing quarters and met once, delivering an average earnings surprise of 37.5%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is set at $3.8 billion, indicating a 1.6% year-over-year rise. We expect Kyndryl Consult to have been the main driver of top-line growth. Our estimate is based on above-market growth in consult signings. Ongoing demand in security and resiliency, along with its capabilities in data discovery, data integrity, AI assessment and governance programs, is likely to have boosted KD’s revenues.
The expansion of the company’s alliance with hyperscalers and leading tech providers, combined with the competitive edge from AI-powered Kyndryl Bridge operating platforms, is another factor that probably enhanced the top line.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 37 cents per share, indicating a more than 100% upsurge from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Strong margins facilitated by a reduction in costs due to an advanced delivery initiative powered by Kyndryl Bridge are likely to have aided the bottom line.

The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
