Cognizant, the New Jersey-headquartered technology services company with a large employee presence in India, registered a 4.5% rise in revenue for the second quarter of the year with a marginal drop in net profit even as it sounded confident about future growth prospects.
Cognizant reported a revenue of $5.48 billion for the second quarter of 2026 (April-June period) as compared to $5.24 billion in the similar period a year ago.
The net profit for the period was $636 million, which was 1.3% lower when compared to $645 million recorded a year ago.
“Our organic revenue growth momentum continued in the second quarter and was at the high end of our expectations,” said Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar on the performance of the company.
The CEO highlighted that the company continues to focus on the artificial intelligence (AI) segment as it brings solutions that combine domain expertise with software engineering capabilities. “As organisations shift from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale execution, we believe the market opportunity ahead is larger than ever, and we're positioning Cognizant to lead in this next era.”
