Do Wall Street Analysts Like Accenture Stock?
Valued at $149.8 billion by market cap, Dublin, Ireland-based Accenture plc (ACN) is a global leader in professional services. Accenture partners with top businesses, governments, and organizations worldwide to enhance their digital foundations, optimize operations, accelerate revenue growth, and improve public services. Accenture has significantly underperformed the broader market over the past year. ACN stock has plunged 24.5% over the past 52 weeks and 32.2% on a YTD basis, compared to the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 19.3% gains over the past year and 8.4% returns in 2025.

Narrowing the focus, Accenture has also underperformed the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) 28.4% gains over the past year and 13.6% surge in 2025. Accenture stock has remained under pressure in recent months. Its stock prices dropped 6.9% in a single trading session following the release of its Q3 results on Jun. 20. The company's topline for the quarter increased by a notable 7.7% year-over-year to $17.7 billion, beating Street estimates by 2.6%. Further, growth in earnings and a drop in outstanding shares due to share buybacks led to an impressive 14.8% growth in EPS to $3.49, surpassing the consensus estimates by 5.8%. Moreover, the company also raised its lower band of full-year revenue growth guidance from the prior range of 5% - 6% to 6% - 7% (in local currency). However, Accenture's new bookings at the end of Q3 stood at $19.7 billion, down 6% year-over-year in USD terms and down 7% in local currency. This dented investor confidence and led to a selloff. For the full fiscal 2025, ending in August, analysts expect ACN to deliver an EPS of $12.88, up 7.8% year-over-year. The company has a mixed earnings surprise history. While it surpassed the Street's bottom-line estimates thrice over the past four quarters, it missed the projections on one other occasion. The stock has a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Of the 23 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 15 'Strong Buys,' one 'Moderate Buy,' and seven 'Holds.' This configuration is notably less optimistic than two months ago, when the stock had a consensus 'Strong Buy' rating overall, with 16 'Strong Buy' recommendations on it. On Jul. 17, Evercore ISI Group analyst David Togut initiated ACN's coverage with an 'Outperform' rating and set a price target of $330. ACN's mean price target of $339.61 indicates a 42.3% premium to current price levels, while its Street-high target of $413 suggests a staggering 73.1% upside potential.

Jim Cramer on Accenture: 'I Can't Believe How Poorly It's Doing'
Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer's radar. A caller asked for Cramer's thoughts on the company, and he replied: 'Accenture was one of the worst-performing stocks on Friday. I can't believe how poorly it's doing. I'm not going to get behind it until we find out what the heck is really going on there.' bluebay/ Accenture (NYSE:ACN) provides consulting, technology, and operations services across industries, and offers solutions in AI, automation, software, and systems integration. It also develops robotics and hardware products and partners in research initiatives like human-centered AI. During a May episode, a caller inquired whether splitting the company could be a smart move going forward. Cramer replied: 'No, don't need to do that. No, don't need to do that. Now, this stock went down because of DOGE. Now that Elon Musk is back to Tesla, I actually think you'd buy Accenture. I've been listening to Julie Sweet. I think she's smart as a whip, and Accenture may be a company that can really help a lot of companies right here.' While we acknowledge the potential of ACN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
