Cognizant’s Strong Customer Relationships Fortify Its Narrow Economic Moat

Cognizant is one of the leading IT services providers in the world and was known as a growth darling for its revenue growth of 20%-40% during 2010-15. While we don't see Cognizant returning to that level of growth in the future, reacceleration in growth is not farfetched. We think Cognizant can deliver this via thoughtful investment in enhancing technical capabilities, more robust strategy consulting operations, and a more diversified client base. With such a focus, we think Cognizant has the potential to strengthen its already moaty business, which benefits from significant switching costs and intangible assets based in its technical expertise.
