Baron Funds made the following comment about EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM) provides outsourced software development to business customers. Shares were up 23% in the third quarter, rebounding from their steep decline earlier this year, after the company reported financial results that beat consensus and demonstrated resilience despite major disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine war. Organic revenue growth was 34% year-over-year in the second quarter, and management is confident that strong growth will persist despite relocating a significant portion of its workforce outside of the impacted regions. This strong performance is enabled by EPAM’s ability to maintain its high quality of project delivery despite employee relocations and accelerated hiring outside of the impacted regions. While we continue monitoring the ongoing situation in Ukraine, we remain shareholders due to EPAM’s long runway for growth, which is underpinned by accelerated demand for digital transformations across industries and economies.”
