Accenture's Q3 EPS, Revenue Surpass Estimates
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) beats Q3 estimates as GAAP EPS rises to $3.49, driven by strong consulting demand. Revenue climbed 7.5% year-over-year to $17.7 billion, topping consensus by $380 million, while new bookings totaled $19.7 billion, down 6% in U.S. dollars and 7% in local currency. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Sign with ACN. Generative AI engagements accounted for $1.5 billion of that backlog, signaling sustained appetite for digital transformation projects. Accenture returned cash to shareholders with a 15% dividend hike to $1.48 per share and repurchased or redeemed 6 million shares for $1.8 billion. Looking ahead, the company raised its full-year targets: revenue growth of 6%7% in local currency, a modest 0.2% tailwind from foreign-exchange, and operating margin expansion to 15.6%, up 10 basis points on an adjusted basis. Diluted EPS is now expected between $12.77 and $12.89, while free cash flow guidance was lifted to $9.0 billion$9.7 billion. Why it matters: Investors should note Accenture's balanced growth across legacy and AI services, bolstered by robust cash returns and a raised outlook that underscores confidence in demand resilience. That chart shows Wall Street's 12-month ACN targets sitting at an average of $355, about 16% above today's levels, with bullish bulls eyeing as high as $395 and skeptics at $290. Despite the upbeat outlook, Accenture's shares are actually down double-digits year-to-date, weighed by broader tech sell-offs and profit-taking after last winter's rally. The divergence between the low and high cases highlights how much of the upside hinges on AI spending and macro stability. If consulting budgets hold firm, you could see ACN grind toward those $355$395 marks; if belt-tightening returns, it might test sub-$300 territory again. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
