Kyndryl and Everforth Shares Fall After IBM Revenue Warning

Kyndryl and Everforth shares fell sharply after IBM issued a second-quarter revenue warning, signaling that enterprise budget shifts toward AI hardware may be delaying large consulting deals. IBM pre-announced adjusted earnings of $2.93 per share on $17.2 billion in revenue, missing Wall Street estimates of $3.01 and $17.86 billion, respectively. CEO Arvind Krishna attributed the shortfall to a late-June reprioritization of enterprise budgets toward servers, storage, and memory chips, causing numerous large deals to stall. Kyndryl dropped 6.9% and Everforth fell 5.4% as investors treated IBM's delayed deal closures as a bellwether for the broader IT services and consulting group.

Everforth Stock Drops 63.4% in Six Months, Analysts Recommend Avoiding EFOR

Everforth shares have plunged 63.4% over the past six months to $18.31, driven by soft quarterly results. Analysts cite three reasons to avoid the stock: revenue grew at a sluggish 2.4% compounded annual rate over five years, projected revenue is expected to stall over the next 12 months, and earnings per share declined 2.5% annually over the same five-year period despite the modest revenue growth. The stock trades at 4.8 times forward earnings, but analysts warn of significant downside given weak fundamentals and recommend instead a leading endpoint security platform.

StockStory Highlights Allegion and AbbVie as Value Picks, Flags Everforth as Risky

StockStory identifies two value stocks worth attention and one facing headwinds. Allegion, trading at $128.79 per share with a forward P/E of 14.5x, stands out for its 19.6% operating margin and robust free cash flow margin of 14.5%. AbbVie, at $234.75 per share and a forward P/E of 15.4x, benefits from a $62.82 billion revenue base and a strong free cash flow margin of 35.7%. In contrast, Everforth is flagged as risky due to a 4.6% annual sales decline over two years and a 2.5% annual contraction in earnings per share over five years, with its stock at $17.68 implying a forward P/E of 4.8x.

Kyndryl and Everforth Shares Fall After Fed Holds Rates Steady

Shares of IT services companies Kyndryl and Everforth fell in the afternoon session after the Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate at 3.5%–3.75% and signaled the easing cycle might reverse. Kyndryl dropped 3% and Everforth fell 2.8% as the FOMC message dampened expectations for further rate relief, which had been loosening CFOs' IT budgets for multi-year enterprise transformation contracts. The rate outlook also strengthened the dollar, reducing the value of US-dollar earnings for offshore-heavy firms. Kyndryl's stock is down 54.6% year-to-date and trading 73.3% below its 52-week high of $43.41 from July 2025.
