Cognizant Q4 sales tops $2 billion mark, guidance stays at 17%

IT services company Cognizant Technology Solutions posted a higher quarterly profit on a 23 per cent rise in demand from Europe.

While spending on services such as consulting is yet to make a recovery, Cognizant is benefiting from growing outsourcing from European companies as instability in the region forces them to restructure and cut costs.

Net income rose to $284.2 million, or 93 cents per share, in the first quarter, from $243.7 million, or 79 cents per share, a year earlier.

Revenue for the quarter rose 18 percent to $2.02 billion.
