Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect CTSH to earn is drifting higher (+2.5%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH): score, valuation & FAQ
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH) is a Information Technology Services company that scores 76.8 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A), D/E (B+) and PEG (B+). On valuation, CTSH sits about 44% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is CTSH a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores CTSH 76.8 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by P/E (A), D/E (B+) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does CTSH score 76.8 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). CTSH earns its highest marks on P/E (A), D/E (B+) and PEG (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is CTSH overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $61.87, CTSH sits about 44% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 13.3x P/E (graded A). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in CTSH?
The reverse‑DCF shows the current price embeds a -7% annual free‑cash‑flow growth rate for a decade, far below the actual 6.5% revenue growth and suggests the market is betting on a severe slowdown; any failure to accelerate AI services would validate that pessimism. A modest PE of 12.6x leaves little margin for error, and a slowdown in the Financial Services spend cycle would crush margins. A breach of the implied negative growth trajectory would trigger a sell‑off.
