What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

• Mizuho keeps an Outperform rating and a US$200 price target, arguing that EPAM's underlying business momentum, especially in AI, is underappreciated and viewing past share price weakness as an opportunity tied to client specific issues at Neoris.

• TD Cowen, even after cutting its target from US$243 to US$220 earlier in the year, continues to highlight AI driven demand, pricing, margin improvement and balance sheet flexibility as reasons to stay constructive on EPAM.

• Goldman Sachs trims its target from US$250 to US$235 but maintains a Buy rating, describing the negative share price reaction to Q4 results as overdone while pointing to an improving outlook despite a client headwind.

• Needham keeps a Buy rating and a US$175 target, stating confidence in EPAM's ability to execute on what it sees as a large AI opportunity as enterprise adoption increases.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

• Truist cuts its target sharply from US$220 to US$146 and keeps a Hold rating, describing EPAM as an improving but in transition IT services company that still needs further AI engagement milestones.

• Citi and Morgan Stanley both lower targets, to US$155 from US$225 and to US$160 from US$175 respectively, with Morgan Stanley pointing to a lower than expected 2026 outlook and muted budget commentary as key constraints.
