Owner-earnings value$92.59
Price$73.72
Margin of safety +25.6%

Cognizant sells IT services: application development and maintenance, outsourcing, cloud migration, digital engineering and consulting. Its customers are large enterprises, mostly in financial services, healthcare, and retail. It earns money mainly by billing for engineers, most of them in India, under multi-year time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. The profit comes from the gap between offshore labor costs and onshore billing rates.
