  • The company reported occasional restructuring charges and non-cash adjustments that sometimes negatively affected expenses and cash flows.
  • Accounts receivable increased slightly, which may impact cash conversion cycles and liquidity.
  • Capital lease obligations and long-term debt have fluctuated and remain significant liabilities, which need monitoring for impact on financing costs and solvency.

Summary: Over the past four years, Cognizant has shown steady revenue and earnings growth, a strong equity base, and consistent earnings per share improvement, which presents a positive outlook for shareholders. While the company has increased cash outflows for financing activities and experienced some cash flow volatility, its operational cash generation and liquidity remain solid. Retail investors should consider these stable fundamentals alongside debt obligations and cash usage trends when evaluating CTSH.
