Shares of companies in the broader technology sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness on US consumer and economic concerns.

EPAM Systems Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPAM#NYSE">EPAM</a>) is trading lower Thursday following its fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 earnings report and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/01/42983710/ibm-globant-epam-top-it-bets-for-2025-driven-by-demand-trends-and-margin-expansion-analyst">disappointing 2025 guidance.</a>
What To Know: In its fourth quarter, EPAM posted adjusted EPS of $2.84, beating the $2.75 Estimate, and revenue of $1.25 billion, beating the $1.21 billion estimate. However, despite solid results in the fourth quarter, the company issued guidance for fiscal year 2025 that predicts adjusted EPS in the range of $10.45 to $10.75, below the analyst consensus of $11.32. Additionally, the forecasted revenue growth of 10% to 14% for 2025 was weaker than anticipated.
For its first quarter of 2025, EPAM expects revenues between $1.275 billion and $1.290 billion, reflecting a year-over-year increase at the midpoint, but organic constant currency revenue growth is expected to be flat. Adjusted EPS for the first quarter is projected to range from $2.22 to $2.32, also below the consensus estimate of $2.59.
Investors are reacting to this underwhelming outlook, which potentially highlights concerns about slower revenue growth and pressure on profitability as the company navigates a challenging macroeconomic environment and integration of recent acquisitions. 
EPAM Price Action: EPAM systems shares closed 12.8% lower at $225.07 on Thursday, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

EPAM Expands Collaboration With Google Cloud To Deliver Scalable AI Solutions For Industry Transformation

Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider expects fourth-quarter 2024 reports to reflect gradual demand improvement in 2025 guidance. Based on intra-quarter management commentary and Accenture (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>)
Schneider expects modest beats for his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/information-technology-services-industry" rel="noreferrer noopener">IT Services coverage</a> in the quarter.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The analyst noted that 2025 guidance will reflect modest revenue acceleration that mirrors a gradually improving customer demand environment and monitored Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFY#NYSE">INFY</a>) reports.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42882959/intel-partners-with-amazon-cloud-to-drive-next-gen-smart-vehicle-tech" rel="noreferrer noopener">Intel Partners with Amazon Cloud to Drive Next-Gen Smart Vehicle Tech, Wins Stellantis, Karma Auto As Clients</a>
Despite the bottoming in fundamentals, Schneider noted investor expectations have modestly deteriorated in recent weeks, given stiffer FX headwinds across the coverage.
As the analyst continues to see cyclical headwinds moderate, he now prefers applications-focused names like International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Globant (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLOB#NYSE">GLOB</a>), and EPAM Systems, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPAM#NYSE">EPAM</a>).
He also noted that IBM remains well-positioned for growth as software growth continues to reflect accelerating trends versus history. The analyst&#8217;s estimates for the fourth quarter remain broadly in line with the Street&#8217;s but he expects 2025 guidance to reflect higher revenues from Red Hat&#8217;s outperformance and the upcoming mainframe refresh in the second quarter of 2025.
Investors will likely focus on software growth and portfolio mix as key metrics, with consulting trends under greater scrutiny.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Schneider noted IBM can pivot its software portfolio to mid- to high-single-digit growth while taking share in consulting, with room for multiple expansions. Investor Day is the next catalyst for the stock.
Schneider projected fourth-quarter revenue of $17.62 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.76.
He noted that Globant expects a solid growth outlook with solid margin expansion in 2025. The analyst expects Globant to deliver a largely in-line quarter but thinks 2025 guidance will reflect revenue acceleration and steady margin expansion supported by its unique positioning in high-growth verticals amid a gradual cyclical recovery. Schneider expects investors to focus on revenue growth trends to gauge the rate of potential revenue re-acceleration in 2025.
The analyst projected fourth-quarter revenue of $649 million and adjusted EPS of $1.74.
EPAM&#8217;s 2025 outlook is likely to reflect modest organic growth, as per Schneider. The analyst expects an in-line fourth quarter with 2025 guidance that reflects stabilizing to improving discretionary trends, as he noted the company is set to capture recovering demand for new technology builds and other high-end engineering services. Schneider noted investors will be focused on the pace of EPAM&#8217;s organic re-acceleration given improving fundamentals in 2025.
Schneider projected fourth-quarter revenue of $1.21 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.78.
Price Actions: IBM stock is down 0.47% at $216.38 at last check Tuesday. GLOB is down 1.14% and EPAM is up 0.03%.

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
