Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation Price and Consensus
Cognizant’s strong partner base, which includes Microsoft, Fortrea (FTRE - Free Report) and ServiceNow (NOW - Free Report) and CNO, has been a key catalyst.
Building on its collaboration with Microsoft, Cognizant also introduced its Innovation Assistant, a generative AI-powered tool developed in collaboration with Microsoft on Azure OpenAI Service. This tool reinforces the company's commitment to human-machine collaboration and advances innovation within the Bluebolt program.
Selected as Fortrea's primary technology transformation partner, Cognizant will play a crucial role in facilitating global infrastructure transition and providing application management and end-user services following Fortrea's successful spin-off in June 2023.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Cognizant further strengthened its ties with ServiceNow, enhancing the Cognizant WorkNEXT modern workplace services solution through the integration of generative AI capabilities. This upgraded solution is poised to deliver significant reductions in lead time for deploying and training AI systems, benefiting clients.
Maintaining its partnership with CNO Financial Group, Cognizant is committed to optimizing technology-based services. The collaboration with CNO focuses on leveraging cloud, digital and AI solutions, with a particular emphasis on generative AI technologies to drive efficiency improvements.
Cognizant’s shares have returned 1.5% compared with the Zacks Computer & Technology sector’s rise of 7.5% year to date. The underperformance can be attributed to challenges in the Financial Services segment, where Cognizant continues to expect the challenging macro environment to hurt spending rates, thereby impacting top-line growth.
