Analysis · EPAM · Technology
EPAM delivered better-than-expected Q2 results with revenue up 4.5% and non-GAAP EPS surging 22% to $3.38, driven by operating margin expansion to 16.4%. The company raised its full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance to $13.08-$13.24, reflecting confidence in sustained profitability despite modest revenue growth. Aggressive share buybacks—$409 million year-to-date—are boosting per-share metrics, though cash reserves have halved to $794 million. The results signal effective cost management and AI-native momentum, but the heavy buyback reliance and negative operating cash flow warrant attention.
