Cognyte Software Ltd.'s share price was $9.20 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 4.2% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $7 and $12, and at that close it sat 50% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 3 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +4% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Cognyte Software Ltd. pay? Cognyte Software Ltd. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Cognyte Software Ltd. on? Cognyte Software Ltd. is on one of our US lists: US tech stocks. [US tech stocks](https://www.sectoralpha.in/us-tech-stocks)

## Is Cognyte Software Ltd. profitable? Cognyte Software Ltd. earned $4.1 M of net profit in the Jul 2026 quarter, +179.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. The full FY26 year was a loss of $638 K. That is 3.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.5 M. 8 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Cognyte Software Ltd. make, and is it growing? Cognyte Software Ltd. reported $109 M of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +12.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −4.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $400 M. The last four reported quarters add to $422 M. FY26 revenue was $400 M, +14.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +12.0% on average, against −4.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +12.0%, against +13.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Cognyte Software Ltd. keep? Cognyte Software Ltd.'s operating margin was 4.3% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 1.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between −32.9% and 3.3%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +1.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Cognyte Software Ltd.'s profit turning into cash? Cognyte Software Ltd.'s cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY26 it brought in $40.3 M of operating cash against −$638 K of profit. After $10.4 M of spending on assets, $29.9 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Cognyte Software Ltd.'s cash go? Cognyte Software Ltd. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $28.0 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.3% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $28.0 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Cognyte Software Ltd.'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Cognyte Software Ltd. has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values Cognyte Software Ltd. at 1.7× its FY26 revenue of $400 M. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the Cognyte Software Ltd. business getting better or worse? Cognyte Software Ltd.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Cognyte Software Ltd. earn on its capital? Cognyte Software Ltd. earned a ROE of 0% in FY26. That is up from a low of −54% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 8.2 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −0.2% net margin and 0.77× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −0.2% net margin × 0.77× asset turnover × 2.28× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −0.4% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.4% − 12.6% = −8.2 percentage points. The 12.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Cognyte Software Ltd. have too much debt? Cognyte Software Ltd. has total debt of $35.2 M against shareholder equity of $219 M as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 0.16× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.42 in FY22 to 0.19 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Cognyte Software Ltd. shareholding pattern? 0.9% of Cognyte Software Ltd.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 0.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Cognyte Software Ltd. from balance-sheet trouble? For Cognyte Software Ltd., the Z-score is 2.03. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.03 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Cognyte Software Ltd. rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Cognyte Software Ltd. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Software - Infrastructure. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Cognyte Software Ltd. compared with?
