Forbes says in their article "To identify firms that have proven and sustainable businesses with a pipeline of innovative ideas, FORBES created its list of America's Fastest Growing Tech Companies, now it its 11th year.  “The list is a pretty good leading indicator of market outperformance”, says Forbes in the story. "Finding growth stocks isn’t difficult. What’s difficult is finding growth stocks that don’t fade and are built to outpace their rivals."

“We combed more than 2,100 publicly traded technology companies, looking for profitable companies with minimum revenue of $150 million and a minimum market value of $500 million. We then looked for firms with sales growth of at least 10% for each of the past three fiscal years and over the latest 12 months. We also required companies to have three-to-five-year estimated earnings-per-share growth rates greater than 10%. Finally, we ranked companies based on their three-year average sales growth rates.”

"We are particularly proud of this rating by Forbes and proud we are a major tech company with operations in Ukraine," said Karl Robb, President, EPAM Systems Europe, Executive Vice-President, EPAM Systems, Inc.
