Financial Times: Cognizant Ranks #281 in FT Global 500 2015, Jumps 67 Places
Cognizant has ranked #281 in FT Global 500 2015, the Financial Times’ annual list of the world’s largest companies based on market capitalization.
This is the 19th annual ranking of the FT Global 500, providing an annual snapshot of the world’s largest companies.
Cognizant debuted on the list in 2011 at #370 and has consistently moved up the ranking since then.
Cognizant’s 2015 ranking, up 67 places from #348 in 2014, is based on the company’s market cap of $38.034 billion as of March 31, 2015.
Market capitalization is the share price on March 31, 2015, multiplied by the number of shares issued; so the greater the stock market value of a company, the higher its ranking.
The figures were converted into a common currency to allow comparison so all the figures in the main FT 500 ranking are presented in terms of the dollar at that date.
