On Cognizant's Q4 2025 earnings call, Ravi Singisetti stated that the company reached its goal of achieving "top tier revenue growth" by 2025, two years ahead of its 2027 target. He reported that Q4 bookings grew 9% year-over-year, with a record quarterly total contract value, including 12 large deals valued at $100 million or more and one deal exceeding $1 billion. Singisetti described the company's strategy as focused on "solving the AI velocity gap," which he defined as the gap between AI infrastructure spending and business value realization for clients. He also noted that Cognizant has pioneered "context engineering" to ground AI technology in enterprise reality. Singisetti highlighted research from Cognizant's New World report, which he said indicates AI is capable of unlocking $4.5 trillion in U.S. labor value.

He expressed confidence in the company's trajectory for 2026 and 2027, citing expansive margins and EPS growth exceeding revenue growth.
