When does Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH) report earnings? On Oct 29, 2026, before the open

Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 9 after the close and 3 during market hours. Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that Cognizant Technology Solutions filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 68 quarters since Aug 4, 2009, and every row links to its filing.

Next announced date: Oct 29, 2026, before the open. It comes from the company through the public Nasdaq calendar, not from the SEC: it is a scheduled date and companies do move it. Everything else on this page already happened, with its filing attached.

The latest, still without a report

  • Jul 29, 2026, Wednesday at 10:35 New York time (during market hours). see the 8-K

It is this company's most recent 8-K with item 2.02 and it does not yet have its 10-Q or 10-K behind it, so there is no way to say which quarter it belongs to: it does not enter the figures above or the table, and for the same reason it might not be an earnings announcement at all (some companies use this same item for production figures or monthly sales).

The last 20 quarters, one by one

"Lead": trading sessions between the announcement and the full quarterly report to the SEC (10-Q, or 10-K at fiscal year end). For Cognizant Technology Solutions, a median of 1 session over the last 12 quarters.

CTSH window: when it reported after the close, from that day's close to the next; when it reported before the open or during market hours, from the previous close to that day's. Split-adjusted closes and EPS with its estimate, from Yahoo Finance. It already happened: it does not anticipate the next announcement.

Where each number comes from

From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Cognizant Technology Solutions filed on EDGAR, the SEC's public database; only those with their 10-Q or 10-K behind them count, so other 8-Ks with the same item (production figures, monthly sales) stay out. The time is converted to New York time using this specific company's stamp convention (its EDGAR stamp arrives in UTC), and it is not assumed: it is derived from the hours in which EDGAR accepts filings. In 3 of this company's 68 quarters the date comes from the EDGAR acceptance day rather than the 8-K cover box, and those are flagged with an asterisk in the table.

What this data does not know

  • The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so Cognizant Technology Solutions's median 20:03 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
  • Nothing before Aug 4, 2009: it is Cognizant Technology Solutions's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
  • What will happen. The page's only future date, Oct 29, 2026, was announced by Cognizant Technology Solutions on the Nasdaq calendar and can be moved. Cognizant Technology Solutions reporting during market hours 3 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
  • Cognizant Technology Solutions's identity is its SEC CIK (0001058290), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
