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. ([cognizant.com](https://www.cognizant.com/us/en/about-cognizant...?utm_source=openai)) 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.
