Accenture Plc (ACN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Accenture's operating margins have shown improvement, reaching 15.1%, a 10 basis point increase year-over-year, while overall utilization rates maintained strong performance at 93%. The company benefits from a solid revenue base, with over 60% of its revenue derived from the top 10 ecosystem partners, which experienced a 9% year-over-year growth in local currency. Additionally, Accenture is poised to enhance shareholder value, with plans to return approximately $1 billion more in FY26 and an announced 10% dividend increase.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Accenture appears negative due to a combination of factors impacting its operating margin and revenue growth. Over the past year, the company experienced a significant operating margin decline of 270 basis points, alongside a contraction of 65 basis points in gross margins, indicating persistent challenges in maintaining profitability amid a difficult market environment. Furthermore, anticipated declines in free cash flow and the pressure from increased capital expenditures highlight ongoing concerns over demand, competitive pressures, and the company's ability to convert bookings into revenue, all contributing to a cautious short-term outlook.
