GLOB: AI Pod Model And Bookings Strength Are Expected To Unlock Upside

Analysts cut the Globant fair value estimate to $73.36 from $84.64 after a wave of reduced price targets in the $50 to $78 range. They cited pressured near-term growth, slightly higher perceived risk, and lingering questions about the net impact of its fast-scaling AI pod model, despite solid Q4 results and strong bookings.

EPAM: AI And Pricing Execution Will Support Transition Rerating Despite 2026 Headwind

The updated analyst price target for EPAM Systems reflects a modest recalibration lower, with our fair value estimate moving from about $207.53 to $191.18 as analysts factor in softer 2026 guidance tied to specific client headwinds. This is partially offset by ongoing confidence in AI related demand, pricing, and margin potential.
