For Q2 2025, Cognizant reported revenue of $5.25 billion (up 8.1% year-on-year) and EPS of $1.31 (up 15% year-on-year), driven by investments in talent, platforms, and AI infrastructure, and supported by record $27.8 billion in bookings—including two deals over $1 billion (Reuters)
The company projects Q3 2025 revenue at $5.27 billion–$5.35 billion, slightly ahead of consensus, marking its fourth straight quarter of organic revenue growth year-on-year driven by enterprise AI adoption (Reuters)
Cognizant expects to record a one-off, non-cash tax charge of about $400 million in Q3 2025 following the repeal of U.S. rules for research and experimental cost capitalization. This is projected to decrease full-year EPS by roughly $0.82 per share (SEC)
