Cognizant Technology Solutions is expanding its share repurchase plans following Board approval of a $2 billion increase to its existing stock repurchase authorization. With this change, there is approximately $3.45 billion remaining available for buybacks as of May 17, 2026.
For 2026, the company has raised its share repurchase target by $1 billion to a total of $2 billion, with the additional $1 billion in repurchases expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2026. Management links this decision to confidence in Cognizant’s AI-led growth prospects and a belief that the current share price undervalues those opportunities.
To support this capital return and the anticipated closing of the previously announced acquisition of Astreya, Cognizant plans to draw down $1 billion from its existing revolving credit facility. The company reiterates its long-term capital allocation framework, highlighting flexibility to continue strategic mergers and acquisitions alongside returning cash to shareholders.
