Cognizant's revenue rose 4.6% in the third quarter as reported. Adjusted operating margin expanded by 30 basis points to 16.3%, and adjusted diluted earnings per share reached $1.49, up 7.2% from a year earlier.
Financial Services led segment growth. For fiscal 2026, the company guided to revenue of $22.05 billion to $22.14 billion and adjusted EPS of $5.72 to $5.79. According to TradingView, Project Leap targets $200 million of savings in 2026, while uncertainty remains around AI, labor-law changes and demand.
why it matters
For the IT services sector, the margin gain comes not only from revenue growth but also from the cost-saving program. Questions about how AI affects demand and costs remain the main factor in valuing the sector.
