Martin Schroeter has seen fluctuations in his insider trading with Kyndryl. His holdings peaked at about $30 million in early 2023 but have recently increased significantly, reaching around $54.91 million as of September 2024. This shows a strong confidence in his company's growth since it was spun off from IBM in late 2021. Over the years, starting from 2019, his wealth in Kyndryl stocks has seen ups and downs, with the highest trading values being recorded in late 2021 just after the spin-off. Interestingly, his investments reflect his belief in Kyndryl’s market position, which serves over 4,000 clients globally and includes many Fortune 100 companies. The trend indicates not just a recovery, but a robust confidence in the company's upcoming potential.
