Bulls say / Bears say

Financial Services, Cognizant’s largest segment, grew 12% year on year in the second quarter, its second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. That gives the company a strong growth engine within its core business. (Cognizant)
Adjusted operating margin rose 40 basis points in the second quarter, and Cognizant raised its 2026 adjusted EPS growth outlook to 8%–10%. That points to improving earnings even as revenue growth remains moderate. (Cognizant)
Cognizant is building capabilities to capture enterprise AI work: its planned Astreya acquisition adds AI infrastructure and data-centre services, while a Travelport project with Anthropic is aimed at a production-scale transformation. These moves could help it earn more from clients’ AI investment. (Reuters, Cognizant)
Cognizant cut its 2026 constant-currency revenue growth outlook to 4.0%–5.5% in July. Its April forecast had already come in below analysts’ expectations as clients held back on discretionary IT spending. (Cognizant, Reuters)
Clients are using AI to bring some IT work in-house, while demanding lower prices and shorter contracts from outsourcing firms. That could reduce Cognizant’s work and weaken the value of its traditional contract model. (Reuters)
Project Leap’s expected 2026 savings of $200 million–$300 million come with $230 million–$320 million in restructuring charges, largely tied to workforce reductions. The programme may improve efficiency, but its near-term benefits are not cost-free. (Reuters)
