Cognizant Technology: Still a Bit Rich Based on Earnings

One today after saying that I’m probably going to ditch Cognizant Technology (CTSH) at the end of the year, the company comes out with great earnings.

For the third quarter, CTSH earned 48 cents a share which creamed Wall Street’s estimates of 41 cents a share. For the fourth quarter, the company sees EPS of 49 cents a share.

The company now expects earnings for this year of $1.88 a share. That means that it’s going for 22 times earnings which is a bit rich for me.

I remember when I first looked at CTSH in 1999 it was around 99 times earnings!
