Goldman Sachs said IBM stands out as the relative beneficiary in its July 10 preview of the Americas technology IT services group for 2Q26, while warning that companies with greater exposure to discretionary spending, including EPAM, face a tougher setup. The report covered IBM, Cognizant, EPAM, Globant, and TaskUs. The bank’s central view is that second-quarter results should be broadly in line with expectations, but macro uncertainty that began affecting client decision-making in April and May is now tightening the range of forward guidance. Goldman expects companies across the group to trim the top end of their guidance ranges and anchor investor expectations closer to the midpoint. IBM was the only stock in the group to receive a Buy rating from Goldman, with a $335 price target. The firm pointed to resilience in IBM’s software business and demand tied to enterprise AI. Goldman forecast IBM’s second-quarter software revenue at $8.16 billion and full-year software revenue at $33.2 billion, with total 2026 revenue at $71.3 billion and free cash flow guidance around $16 billion. By contrast, Goldman kept a Neutral rating on EPAM and said its concentration in application implementation and consulting leaves it more exposed to weaker discretionary budgets. The bank expects EPAM to narrow its full-year organic growth guidance to 2.5%-4.0% from 2.5%-5.0%.
