Acquisition

Kyndryl completes up to $350M acquisition of Healthcare IT Leaders

The deal is small enough to barely dent Kyndryl's books, yet big enough to pause its stock buybacks.

• Kyndryl closed its acquisition of Healthcare IT Leaders, LLC for up to $350 million, including a contingent performance-based earnout.
• Healthcare IT Leaders provides enterprise IT consulting, managed services and workforce solutions to hospitals and health systems, spanning EHR, ERP, WFM, RCM, digital health, cloud and data.
• The completion follows Kyndryl's August 10, 2026 announcement of intent to acquire the company, closing the deal in just over a month.
• Healthcare IT Leaders' revenue over the twelve months ending March 31, 2026 was about 1% of Kyndryl's fiscal 2026 revenue, a modest bolt-on by scale.
• Kyndryl temporarily paused its share repurchase program to preserve financial flexibility for the deal and said it will update investors when buybacks resume.
• The acquisition signals Kyndryl's push to bundle applications, infrastructure and consulting into one AI-led offering for a healthcare sector under pressure to modernize highly regulated, mission-critical systems.
