Yesterday must be one of my lucky day when Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (Nasdaq: CTSH, stock) not only gapped-up nicely but follow through with sustain uptrend after the first 45 minutes of which I decided to close my position to take money off the table out of fear. If you were watching how the stock moved yesterday, you might feel the same thing I felt when the stock started to slide (refer to chart where I closed the position) for a while before continue its’ momentum.

Again I can hear people say – if only you hold on a little but longer you might be able to gain higher profit. Hey, I’m not sure what’ll happen next and I’m definitely not David Copperfield. I might say to myself I should hold on another day to see what’ll happen. But another minute wait is another minute risk – I’ve my risk management to follow. Be discipline or you might be punished. Furthermore 67% profit in one-day trading option is satisfying enough – at least for me.

CTSH earned $69.5 million, or 46 cents per share, up 21 percent from $57.7 million, or 39 cents per share, during the same period in the previous year. Sales rose 65 percent to $424.4 million from $256.9 million. Analysts, on average, were looking for earnings of 43 cents per share on sales of $405.5 million, according to a poll by Thomson Financial. So CTSH beats earning estimate again and the stock price was rewarded generously.

Francisco D’Souza, president and chief executive officer of Cognizant, said a good portion of company’s growth came from Europe, where revenue doubled last year. In totality, U.S. contributes 86% while Europe the remaining 13% of the revenues.

Cognizant, which recently opened its eighth center in India saw strong demand from healthcare, media and entertainment. Cognizant’s competitors such as Infosys Technologies (Nasdaq: INFY, stock) and Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, stock) also reported strong growth due to increased outsourcing demand.
