Cognizant Guides Q3 Revenue to $5.6B-$5.68B, In Line with Estimates
CTSH sits 25% above its 52-week low of $37.08.
Summary
Cognizant issued Q3 revenue guidance of $5.6 billion to $5.68 billion, roughly in line with consensus expectations. The midpoint of $5.64 billion suggests modest sequential growth from Q2 levels, but no major upside surprise. This follows a series of strategic AI partnerships announced in recent months, including expanded alliances with Google Cloud, Snowflake, and ServiceNow, as well as a significant restructuring program. The guidance provides a concrete near-term target against which the company's AI-driven transformation and cost-cutting efforts can be measured. With shares at $46.39 and a $23.8 billion market cap, the stock's reaction will hinge on whether the market views this outlook as achievable given ongoing macro uncertainty and the recent layoffs.
