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 36.1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is set at $3.8 billion, indicating a 1.1% year-over-year increase. The top line is expected to have grown due to new signings in services related to AI adoption, cyber resiliency and cloud migration.
Automation and insights through Kyndryl Bridge and expanded technology partnerships are expected to have provided the company with the support to achieve above-market growth in Kyndryl Consult. This is likely to have aided the company in winning logos and adding scope to its customer relationships.
The consensus estimate for earnings is set at 35 cents per share, indicating a more than 100% upsurge from the year-ago quarter. Prudent cost control and strong margins are expected to have fueled the bottom line.
