On September 9, 2025, Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM) from $210 to $175, maintaining an ‘Equal Weight’ rating. The investment firm cited a cautious outlook for U.S. IT Services due to AI investments crowding out IT budgets, increased pricing pressure, and potential ROIC dilution from heavier capital allocation. Thus, sustained headwinds are projected that would impact market expansion and valuation growth across the sector. At the same time, muted short-term expectations are set for individual companies like EPAM.

EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM), a global provider of digital platform engineering and software development services, specializes in cloud migration, data analytics and AI, cybersecurity, and customer experience design, alongside integrated engineering practices and smart automation solutions. It is one of the Best Virtual Reality Stocks To Buy.
