Broyhill Asset Management stated the following regarding EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:
“We recently shared our thoughts on AI with investors in a piece titled Absolute Insanity. We believe the threat of disruption weighed heavily on the IT Services industry, an industry we’ve actively followed and invested in for the past decade. While there is some truth to the AI narrative surrounding IT Services – many legacy players are particularly vulnerable to disruption – a handful of companies are positioned to enjoy a massive tailwind from this new technology. We established a new investment in EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM) during the fourth quarter, as we believe the company’s digital expertise positions it as an “AI Sleeper” – a prime beneficiary as enterprises look for assistance in strategizing, implementing, and maintaining large language models.”
