On February 23, TheFly reported that Mizuho Securities trimmed the price target on EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM) from $228 to $199, while keeping an Outperform rating.

Mizuho remains positive on EPAM despite the price target reduction, with the current price target implying an upside of almost 42% as of March 3. The firm lowered the target after the company’s 2026 organic growth guidance fell short of investor expectations. The firm believes that the softer outlook is mainly driven by a sequential revenue drop from Neoris’ largest customer in the first quarter.

Over the past month, EPAM shares have plunged over 23%, and Mizuho sees this selloff as a buying opportunity, pointing to EPAM’s underlying business momentum.

In another rating update, TD Cowen also cut EPAM’s price target from $243 to $220, while maintaining a Buy rating. Apart from similar views to Mizuho’s on 2026 guidance, the firm sees improving pricing trends, AI-driven demand strength, margin expansion, and balance-sheet strength as key aspects of the stock’s positive outlook.

Out of 20 analysts covering EPAM, 70% rate it a Buy, while 30% rate it a Hold. The average price target of $195 indicates an upside potential of almost 40%.
