Cognizant Technology Solutions: Q4 2025 Earnings Preview

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH), valued at $41.4 billion, is a leading global provider of professional services. The company delivers consulting, technology, and outsourcing solutions to clients in North America, Europe, and other regions. Its offerings span a variety of sectors, including finance, healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, retail, and technology, with expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence, digital engineering, cloud computing, and business process management.

Headquartered in Teaneck, New Jersey, Cognizant is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results before the market opens on Wednesday, February 4. Analysts anticipate adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.32 for the quarter, representing a 9.1% increase from $1.21 in the same period last year. Notably, the company has surpassed Wall Street’s earnings projections for the past four quarters.

For the full fiscal year 2025, market experts expect Cognizant to report an adjusted EPS of $5.25, up 10.5% from $4.75 in fiscal 2024.

Over the last year, Cognizant shares have climbed 12.8%. However, this performance trails the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) nearly 17% gain and the 23.4% return posted by the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) during the same timeframe.

On October 29, Cognizant’s stock surged 5.7% after the company reported third-quarter 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.39 and revenue of $5.42 billion, both exceeding analyst expectations. The company also raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $5.22 to $5.26 and increased the lower end of its annual revenue forecast to $21.05 billion. Investors were encouraged by Cognizant’s robust AI-focused growth strategy and the prospect of higher enterprise spending on digital transformation.

Of the 24 analysts tracking the stock, eight recommend a “Strong Buy,” one suggests a “Moderate Buy,” and 15 rate it as a “Hold.” The average price target stands at $86.71, indicating a potential upside of 1.1% from current levels.
