"The litigation alleges that Kyndryl's much-touted free cash flow—a key indicator of the company's growth—was a mirage built on undisclosed and unsustainable cash management practices," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation of the alleged claims in the pending litigation. "We are investigating whether the company used these practices to mask its true financial health, leading to the massive 55% value destruction when the CFO and General Counsel abruptly departed and the SEC's investigation became public."

Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (KD) Securities Class Action: Expanded Allegations

While the initial complaint focused primarily on the failure to timely file financial reports and deficient internal controls, the expanded complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Kyndryl and its executives failed to disclose:

• Manipulated Cash Flow Metrics: That Kyndryl's reported free cash flow was artificially inflated by undisclosed and unsustainable cash management practices, rather than genuine operational strength.
• The August 2025 First Reveal: The complaint notes that the truth began to emerge on August 4, 2025, when Kyndryl missed revenue and cash flow estimates, causing a 21% stock drop. Despite this, management allegedly continued to reassure investors about the "durability" of its financial condition.
• SEC Investigation & Executive Exodus: On February 9, 2026, before the market opened, Kyndryl disclosed a voluntary document request from the SEC's Enforcement Division regarding its cash management practices. Simultaneously, the company announced the immediate departure of its CFO and General Counsel.
• Total Market Fallout: Following the February 9 announcement, Kyndryl's stock plummeted 55%, falling from $23.49 to $10.59 per share.

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 13, 2026

Despite the filing of the new expanded complaint, the April 13, 2026, deadline for investors to move for Lead Plaintiff remains unchanged.
