EPAM Systems stock (ISIN US26874Q1031) closed at USD 117.17 on September 16, 2026, after a 5.1 percent decline, while Yahoo Finance shows an average analyst target of USD 122.82 and a low estimate of USD 94.00.

Recent numbers still matter

According to ad hoc news on September 17, 2026, EPAM Systems reported diluted earnings per share of USD 3.38 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, on revenue of USD 1.41 billion. The same report said Yahoo Finance listed trailing twelve-month revenue at USD 5.62 billion, with a profit margin of 7.15 percent and an operating margin of 10.94 percent as of the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

That combination gives investors a clean read: the quarterly EPS of USD 3.38 and revenue of USD 1.41 billion are the freshest operating figures in the current window, and Yahoo Finance's margin data points to a business that is still converting sales into profit at a solid rate.

Target range frames the stock

According to ad hoc news, JP Morgan downgraded EPAM Systems to Neutral on August 26, 2026 and kept a price target of USD 120.00. The same report also said MarketBeat data compiled on September 16, 2026 showed an average analyst rating of Hold, which leaves the stock without a strong directional consensus.

For the chart, the key level is simple: USD 117.17 sits below the USD 120.00 target and just under the average target of USD 122.82, so the market is still trading inside the analyst range rather than breaking away from it.

Stock ends below target

EPAM Systems stock traded at USD 117.17 on September 16, 2026, with the session down 5.1 percent. That leaves the shares below the average target of USD 122.82 and still inside a wide target band that runs from USD 94.00 to USD 200.00.
