Growth against the P/E multiple. Up and to the right is cheaper and faster — the quality-growth idea in one picture. Points beyond the axis are pinned to the edge and marked off-scale rather than allowed to compress everything else.

The companies
GGenpact Limited
Information Technology Services · $34.40 · beta 0.58
Why now
Information Technology Services · market cap $5.8b. Down 29% from 52-week high of $48.64 — deep drawdown territory. 11 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $42.18 (implying +23% upside).
Moat
ROE 22% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
CTSHCognizant Technology Solutions Corporation
Information Technology Services · $59.20 · beta 0.85
Why now
Information Technology Services · market cap $26.7b. Down 32% from 52-week high of $87.03 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.87 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 25 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $65.90 (implying +11% upside).
Moat
ROE 15% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. FCF converts 117% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Down 32% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Verdict — model-derived comparison
The model favors CTSH (78.1) over G (75.7) primarily due to CTSH's superior Value pillar score of 85 compared to G's 76. However, a contrarian might prefer G, which implies a lower annual growth of -17% over ten years compared to CTSH's -8%, suggesting less optimism is priced into G's current valuation.

Pillars run 0–100. Value is judged against each company's own sector, so a Value score is a statement about a company relative to its own industry rather than to the other name here. A wide Value gap usually means the market already prices the difference in quality or growth — which is the trade-off this comparison comes down to.
Common questions
Is G or CTSH the better stock?
G scores higher: G 74.5, CTSH 73.3 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth score, which blends business quality, growth and valuation into one number. A higher score means a stronger business at a more reasonable price — it is not a price target or a recommendation.
Where do G and CTSH differ most?
The widest gap is growth, where G leads by 4 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. The other two pillars are close enough to call level, so this is the one place they genuinely separate.
How are G and CTSH scored?
Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site, built from three pillars — quality (profitability and returns on capital), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (what you pay for them) — combined as a geometric mean, so a weak pillar cannot be papered over by a strong one.
How current is this comparison?
The whole universe is re-scored every trading day after the US market close, so the scores and fundamentals here reflect the latest published edition.
