Accenture Plc (ACN) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Accenture Plc (ACN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Accenture reported a positive operating margin of 15.1%, reflecting a slight year-over-year improvement, alongside strong overall utilization rates of 93%. The firm's strategic reliance on its top ecosystem partners, contributing over 60% of revenue, showcased robust growth of 9% year-over-year in local currency for FY25. Additionally, Accenture's commitment to capital return is underscored by a planned $1 billion increase to shareholders and a 10% dividend hike, despite a slight dip in local currency revenue growth to 4.5% year-over-year in the latest quarter.
Bears say
Accenture faces a negative outlook due to a substantial decline in operating margin, which decreased by 270 basis points year-over-year, highlighting the impact of business optimization actions amid ongoing pressures in the competitive landscape. The company anticipates a 7% year-over-year decline in free cash flow for FY26 and projects capital expenditures to rise to $1 billion, both factors contributing to investor concerns about potential earnings risks and margin pressures. Additionally, Accenture's revenue growth prospects are dimmed by a deteriorating demand environment, pricing pressures, and uncertainties surrounding new bookings and revenue conversion.
