US-BASED IT services firm Cognizant Technology Solutions exceeded market estimates on the revenue front in the quarter ended December and also raised its 2025 guidance.

The Nasdaq-listed company's annual revenue guidance for 2025 stands between 3.5% and 6% in constant currency (CC) terms. This marks a significant increase from last year's projection, which ranged from -2% to 2% in CC terms. Cognizant follows the calendar year.

For Q1, the firm has projected its revenue to grow between 6.5% and 8% in CC terms, exceeding the previous quarter's guidance range of 5.1% to 7.1%. "We have seen early pipeline opportunities and identified the potential for new joint offerings in areas such as model-based system in systems engineering," Cognizant CEO, Ravi Kumar S, had stated in October while addressing analysts.
