Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (KD) Investigation

In the past, infrastructure services company Kyndryl has emphasized “strong conversion of our earnings to free cash flow” and assured investors that its internal control over financial reporting is sufficient.

Kyndryl’s assurances may have come into question on February 9, 2026, when it made three startling disclosures.

First, the company notified investors that it would not timely file its quarterly report because Kyndryl’s Audit Committee “is reviewing its cash management practices, related disclosures (including the drivers of the Company’s free cash flow metric), [and] the efficacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting[.]”

Second, Kyndryl revealed it received document requests from the Division of Enforcement of the SEC related to matters being reviewed by the Audit Committee.

Third, the company announced that Wyshner and Sebold departed on February 5, 2026, and its comptroller (Vineet Khurana) stepped down while assuming another position.

The market’s reaction was severe, as the price of Kyndryl shares plunged nearly 57% during trading that day, wiping out over $3 billion of market capitalization in a single day.

There are multiple law firms participating, do I need to contact all of them?

No, you do not need to contact all participating law firms. Generally, class-action investigations and lawsuits are consolidated into a single case to streamline the legal process, and attorneys from only a few law firms are selected to serve in a leadership role on the consolidated case. Hagens Berman has a proven track record of being appointed to leadership roles in complex, multidistrict litigation regarding investor fraud and other consumer rights issues, and your claim will be handled by attorneys who have helped secure approximately $325 billion in class-action settlements on behalf of individuals who have suffered due to corporate malfeasance and the wrongdoing of other powerful institutions.
