Context and risks
The macro context (rising rates, geopolitical tensions) does not materially affect Cognizant: its IT services business is not energy-intensive nor debt-heavy (ND/EBITDA 0.26), and its valuation is already adjusted by the engine. The main risk is sectorial (competition and AI disruption), not macro.
