Accenture Plc (ACN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Accenture has demonstrated significant growth in Generative AI, with bookings reaching $3 billion and revenues increasing to $900 million in FY24, a substantial rise from the previous fiscal year. The company's strategic focus on technology investments and digital transformation initiatives positions it for stronger revenue and earnings per share (EPS) growth, suggesting an ability to command higher multiples akin to its digital pure-play peers. With expectations of double-digit bookings growth and favorable market conditions, including a new ERP upgrade cycle and continued demand for digital services, Accenture's outlook remains robust as it anticipates sustained growth above pre-pandemic levels.
Bears say
Accenture experienced a significant decline in bookings, reporting a 9.6% year-over-year decline in the fourth quarter of FY23, marking only the second such decline in five years. Despite a temporary revenue beat in 1QFY25, the overall revenue performance for FY24 was below guidance, necessitating a reduction in revenue estimates for FY25 by $460 million to $68.4 billion and adjustments in EPS forecasts down to $12.59. The financial outlook includes anticipated revenue declines of 5% quarter-over-quarter and increasing risks related to slower growth, particularly in software, contributing to a negative sentiment towards Accenture's stock performance.
