Cognizant has reported its fourth-quarter earnings, surpassing analysts' expectations and projecting a revenue growth of 3.5% to 6% for 2025, driven by improved discretionary spending. The company noted a growth rate of 1.9% for the year 2024. Despite a recent decline in its workforce during the December quarter, Cognizant anticipates a return to hiring in each quarter of 2025. The positive earnings report has influenced the Indian IT sector, with stocks such as Wipro, Mphasis, and Tech Mahindra seeing gains as investor sentiment improves. However, some analysts have indicated that Cognizant's guidance may fall short of market expectations, leading to increased scrutiny of the broader IT sector in India.
