Guggenheim
Jonathan Lee
Neutral -> Buy
upgrade
$90
2025-07-18
Reason
Guggenheim analyst Jonathan Lee upgraded Cognizant to Buy from Neutral with a $90 price target. The firm says its checks in the channel signaled strength driven by new wins for Cognizant and strength outside of North America. The analyst now expects Cognizant to raise the midpoint of its revenue growth outlook to up 4.5% to 6.0% year-over-year in constant currency from 3.5% to 6.0%. Guggenheim cites valuation and proof points of improved execution for the upgrade.
Evercore ISI
Outperform
initiated
$100
2025-07-17
Reason
Evercore ISI initiated coverage of Cognizant with an Outperform rating and $100 price target. The firm, which believes the company is "well-positioned to sustainably return to the winner's circle" as a top-four in the industry in terms of constant currency growth, views the company as having ability to take share within a growing total addressable market. The firm also sees potential for the stock to re-rate higher, the analyst tells investors.
Deutsche Bank
Nate Svensson
resume
$80
2025-07-17
Reason
Deutsche Bank analyst Nate Svensson resumed coverage of Cognizant with a Hold rating and $80 price target. The firm resumed coverage on 25 stocks in the payments, processors, and IT services industry with nine Buys, 14 Holds, and two restricted ratings. Both industries have materially underperformed the S&P 500 Index year-to-date as investor expectations increased around the November election, leading to an end of year run-up \"that has since proven overly-optimistic,\" the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that with trade uncertainty and consumer spending concerns, the outlook for the group \"is as cloudy as it has been in the last five years.\" In this uncertain environment, Deutsche favors \"high-quality compounders\" with consistent sales growth, margin expansion, and free cash flow generation.
JPMorgan
Neutral -> Overweight
upgrade
$88 -> $98
2025-05-19
Reason
JPMorgan upgraded Cognizant to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $98, up from $88. The company has made "significant strides in closing the growth gap" versus peers through its focus on execution, large deals and employee retention under CEO Ravi Kumar, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Cognizant is well aligned with the trend towards cost cutting projects, which should help capture its "fair share of large projects," while its vertical mix seems favorable.
Barclays
Ramsey El-Assal
Overweight
downgrade
$103 -> $90
2025-04-25
Reason
Barclays analyst Ramsey El-Assal lowered the firm's price target on Cognizant to $90 from $103 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares as part of a Q1 earnings preview for the IT services group. Read-throughs point to relatively stable demand trends, leading Barclays to believe Q1 estimates are achievable, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm says tariff-driven uncertainty "has muddied forward-looking expectations, adding plenty of risk" to a back-half of the year growth acceleration.
