Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp: what insiders have been doing
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp, founded in 1994, is a Business Services company based in Teaneck, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). From 18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026, the disclosure feed for Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp logged 195 filings by 19 insiders.
Purchases and sales both appear in the filings: 1 purchase (1 insider) and 25 sales (6 insiders, €4.6M). No amount is published for 2 filings, which the totals therefore leave out. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €580k from Dalal Jatin P, disclosed on 5 August 2026, or 0.0024% of market capitalisation. Among those who bought: 1 senior executive.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,810 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 195 filings here. Our records for Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp go back to 2016, with 1 purchase and 53 sales on the open market in total. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts revenue at 21.11 bn USD and net income at 2.23 bn USD, and the dividend at 1.24 USD per share.
The last purchase on record was published on 12 June 2026, which is 127 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives.
For comparison within the same sector, see the insider buying recorded at Coursera, Inc. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.

About Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. is a major U.S.-listed technology and professional-services company traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker CTSH and headquartered in the United States, in Teaneck, New Jersey. Founded in 1994, Cognizant began as a software-development and maintenance firm and has evolved into a global digital-transformation partner serving enterprise clients across consulting, technology services, and business process operations. Over time, the company broadened its capabilities from traditional IT outsourcing into higher-value offerings centered on cloud modernization, data, artificial intelligence, application engineering, automation, and customer-experience transformation. ([investors.cognizant.com](https://investors.cognizant.com/news-and-events/news/news-details/2019/Cognizant-Celebrates-25-Years-of-Innovation-and-Growth/?utm_source=openai))
Cognizant’s business model is organized around three broad pillars: modernizing technology, reimagining processes, and transforming experiences. In practical terms, the company delivers application development and maintenance, software engineering, cloud migration and managed services, data and analytics, quality engineering, infrastructure services, and business process services. Its client base is concentrated in large enterprises, with especially deep exposure to financial services, healthcare and life sciences, industrials, consumer goods, media, and communications. Competitive positioning is shaped by its scale, long-standing vertical expertise, and ability to bundle domain knowledge with digital delivery. In the global IT services landscape, Cognizant competes with large systems integrators and outsourcing peers, but it differentiates itself through strong industry specialization and an increasingly AI-led go-to-market strategy.

Geographically, Cognizant operates worldwide, with delivery and client relationships spanning North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The company emphasizes deep relationships with leading global organizations, including top biopharma companies, European banks, media groups, and healthcare plans. This broad reach supports revenue diversification, although the business remains dependent on enterprise IT spending cycles, pricing pressure in outsourcing, and execution on large transformation programs. ([cognizant.com](https://www.cognizant.com/us/en/about-cognizant...?utm_source=openai))
Recent company developments point to a strategic shift toward AI and larger-scale transformation deals. In its February 2026 full-year 2025 results, Cognizant reported 2025 revenue of $21.1 billion, constant-currency growth of 6.4%, and 28 large deals signed during the year. Management highlighted its “AI builder” strategy, stronger ecosystem partnerships, and continued capital returns through dividends and share repurchases. For investors, Cognizant now looks like a mature but still evolving digital-services franchise: profitable, globally diversified, and increasingly positioned to monetize enterprise AI adoption rather than relying solely on legacy IT outsourcing demand.
