Cognizant Technology Solutions reported a robust third quarter for 2025, with revenue climbing 7.4% year-over-year to $5.42 billion, surpassing the upper end of its guidance. The company also posted a 16% operating margin—up 140 basis points—and an adjusted EPS of $1.39, marking an 11% annual rise. CEO Ravi Kumar S attributed the performance to consistent organic growth across all segments and strong client demand in North America. “This marks our fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year organic growth and our strongest sequential growth since 2022,” he said, highlighting momentum in AI-led platforms and six major deal wins during the quarter.
CFO Jatin Dalal announced that Cognizant has raised its full-year constant currency revenue growth guidance to 6.0–6.3%, citing solid execution and disciplined cost management. The company returned $1.5 billion to shareholders so far in 2025 through share buybacks and dividends.
In Kolkata, Cognizant’s upbeat results were welcomed as a reflection of steady digital transformation demand from BFSI and manufacturing sectors. Analysts noted that the company’s expanding AI service portfolio could boost IT spending sentiment in the region’s technology outsourcing ecosystem. Cognizant’s headcount stood at 349,800, with attrition easing to 14.5% as of September 2025.
