Cognizant CTSH

How this is scored: each factor above is a 0–100 percentile rank against every other stock BeStock covers (or, for Wall Street, against the five-point Strong Buy–Sell scale). The overall grade is the plain average of whichever factors apply to this stock — no factor is weighted more than another. That average maps to a letter: A ≥ 85, B ≥ 70, C ≥ 50, D ≥ 30, otherwise F. Recomputed from the data on this page as prices and filings update — it describes where a stock ranks today, not a forecast, and not a BeStock recommendation to buy or sell.

CTSH is not currently one of the 10 holdings in BeStock Momentum, our rules-based momentum strategy.

Since 2020-07-06, the strategy has returned 1524.8% (321.7% for the equal-weight average of BeStock’s coverage over the same stretch). Holdings can change any trading day, not just on a fixed schedule. Backtested performance, updated weekly — not a guarantee of future results, and not a BeStock recommendation.

Wall Street’s average 12-month target is $67.85, 11.0% above today’s price, with a consensus rating of Buy. Morningstar’s fair value model puts the stock at $82.03, so shares trade 25.5% below that estimate. On earnings multiple, it sits in the 7th percentile of its own five-year valuation range (cheaper than usual).

Figures are Wall Street analyst consensus and Morningstar’s independent fair-value model, sourced as noted above.

Ranks are among the 800 or so U.S.-listed stocks BeStock covers, recalculated whenever prices refresh. A tile is left out when the measure does not apply, such as yield for a stock that pays no dividend.

Set against the peer table: at 13.1x earnings, CTSH looks cheap against the market, and trades 50% below the 26.1x median among Software Outsourcing names. The two comparisons do not always agree.
