Broyhill Asset Management stated the following regarding EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:
“EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM). EPAM has long been a best-in-class operator within IT services and one we were happy to add to the portfolio with the noise created by the sell-off from the war in Ukraine. However, as the conflict has dragged on, EPAM has increasingly shifted operations to India and Latin America. We suspect that a shifting labor force could undercut its advantages and introduces a new type of uncertainty that we are less eager to underwrite. We exited the position in September.”
