Wall Street Just Sold Off These IT-Services Stocks on AI Fears. Is the Sell-Off Overdone?
Is AI disrupting these businesses?
Overview
Shares of Accenture (NYSE: ACN) cratered about 18% on June 18 -- the consulting giant's worst single-day drop on record. What spooked investors wasn't the quarter. It was the outlook, and the fear behind it.
And Accenture didn't fall alone. EPAM Systems (NYSE: EPAM) slid about 9% the same day without reporting anything of its own. The worry driving this sell-off? The risk of artificial intelligence (AI) threatening the work these firms get paid for.

So is AI structurally shrinking demand for IT services, or is this an overreaction?
