What the filing says
Cognizant reported Q2 2026 revenue of $5.481 billion (+4.5% YoY, +4.1% constant currency), with GAAP diluted EPS of $1.36 and adjusted EPS of $1.37. The company repurchased 22.5 million shares for $1.153 billion in Q2 (including $500M accelerated program), deployed $1.6 billion on buybacks in H1 2026, and completed the $634 million Astreya acquisition. Full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance raised to $5.70–$5.82 (8–10% growth); adjusted operating margin guidance maintained at 16.0–16.2% with 20–40 bps expansion; FY revenue guidance revised to $22.04–$22.35 billion (4.0–5.5% constant currency growth).
Why this rating
Solid operational execution with modest organic growth and margin expansion; capital return ($1.1B Q2 buybacks) represents ~2.9% of $38.1B market cap—material but not transformational. EPS guidance lift is positive but modest (8–10% growth anchored in lower share count, not earnings acceleration). No material strategic shift or material M&A. Routine quarterly beat with incremental positive adjustments.
