Activist investor Mantle Ridge builds a more than $1 billion stake in Cognizant: Report
Mantle Ridge has built a stake worth more than $1 billion in consultancy firm Cognizant Technology, saying its shares are undervalued, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
Shares of the company, whose market capitalization stands at more than $41 billion, rose over 5% in extended trading.
Mantle Ridge started buying up shares of the company in the second half of 2022, when the stock was trading in the high $50 to low $60 per-share range, the report added.
The activist firm has been privately engaging with Cognizant about its progress on boosting the share price, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Last month, Cognizant forecast annual revenue below estimates, weighed down by tepid spending on its IT businesses as an uncertain economy and high interest rates pressure enterprise budgets.
