Cognizant seeks India listing to narrow peer valuation gap

Cognizant started as a software services arm of Dun & Bradstreet with 175 employees in 1994 in Chennai.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. earns more revenue than Infosys Ltd, yet the Nasdaq-listed IT services firm is valued at barely half its peer, which is listed in India as well as the US.

While Infosys, India’s second-largest IT outsourcer, has a market capitalization of $70.5 billion, Cognizant is valued at $35.01 billion—although they had comparable revenues of $19.74 billion and $19.28 billion, respectively, in the previous fiscal year. Cognizant follows a January-December fiscal.

It is this arbitrage that the Teaneck, New Jersey-based company appears to be targeting as it weighs an India listing, announced on Wednesday during the September-quarter results.
