What is Accenture (ACN), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Accenture is a professional-services operator, not a product-led technology vendor. Its revenue records client spending on strategy and consulting, application and cloud modernization, security, data and artificial intelligence work, and the ongoing operation of business and technology processes.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Accenture is a professional-services operator, not a product-led technology vendor. Its revenue records client spending on strategy and consulting, application and cloud modernization, security, data and artificial intelligence work, and the ongoing operation of business and technology processes.
Reporting compresses that breadth into consulting revenue and outsourcing revenue, which contribute similar amounts. The vast workforce is delivery capacity, while gross profit and operating profit reflect how effectively that capacity is converted into billed work.
What do the latest results show for Accenture (ACN)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q3 FY2026, carried revenue of $18.72B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The latest reported period produced higher revenue, gross profit, operating profit, net income and diluted earnings per share than the preceding period and the corresponding prior-period comparison. Yet revenue came in below the market estimate while earnings per share cleared it, interrupting a run in which reported revenue had generally exceeded expectations.
For the fiscal outlook, management expects local-currency growth despite pressure from the federal business and also expects adjusted operating-margin expansion. That is management’s framing of the path ahead, rather than proof that the federal drag fully explains the latest revenue outcome.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Accenture (ACN)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $12.84B at the Aug 31, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $3.10B for the quarter ended Aug 31, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Cash and short-term investments exceed total debt, and long-term investments deepen the surplus. Operating cash flow remained positive throughout the displayed series, with capital expenditure far smaller; liquidity ratios and the distress screen likewise do not indicate immediate balance-sheet strain.
The operating risk sits in keeping a vast workforce productive as client spending shifts across advisory, implementation and managed operations. Federal pressure is already embedded in management’s outlook, while substantial acquisition deployment for operational-technology cybersecurity could reduce the cash cushion and financial flexibility.

What should you watch next at Accenture (ACN)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Dec 17, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Accenture’s approaching earnings release offers a clean comparison: revenue against consensus after the latest miss, and earnings per share against a history of clearing expectations. The reported outcome should then be compared with management’s local-currency growth range, the stated federal-business pressure and the promised adjusted-margin expansion.
Cash, debt and acquisition disclosures matter alongside earnings because expected deployment into operational-technology cybersecurity is large relative to available cash. Any update to the consulting and outsourcing mix would also reveal which delivery mode is carrying growth.
What management is planning
Management expectations, not completed milestones or guarantees. Selected verbatim excerpts; dates follow the transcript provider.
For the full fiscal '27, we expect our revenue to be in the range of 3% to 6% growth in local currency over fiscal '26.
Angie Park ·
For operating margin, we expect fiscal year '27 to be 15.9% to 16.1%, a 10 to 30 basis point expansion over adjusted fiscal '26 results.
Angie Park ·
We expect our full year diluted earnings per share for fiscal '27 to be in the range of $14.39 to $14.81 or 3% to 6% growth over adjusted fiscal '26 results.
Angie Park ·
For the full fiscal '27, we expect operating cash flow to be in the range of $11.9 billion to $12.7 billion, property and equipment additions to be approximately $900 million and free cash flow to be in the range of $11 billion to $11.8 billion.

How does Accenture compare with its peers?
Short answer
Accenture's score ranks 5th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Accenture differs from product software companies because its economic unit is delivered expertise and ongoing operations, not a software license or user seat. Compared with narrower consultancies, it spans strategy through application modernization, cloud, security, connected products and managed infrastructure, then reports the commercial result through consulting and outsourcing rather than product lines.
The similarly sized segments and modest capital expenditure create a hybrid of project work and outsourced operations. That structure makes workforce deployment, cash generation and operating margin more informative than product-adoption metrics.

ACN Technology Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Why are Accenture consulting and outsourcing revenue so close?
Client spending reaches Accenture through transformation engagements and through ongoing operational delivery, and those revenue pools are similar in size. The mix makes Accenture less like a pure project consultancy and more like a blend of advisory, implementation and managed services.
How is Accenture’s federal business shaping management’s outlook?
Management includes the federal business as a drag within its local-currency revenue outlook. Investors can test that framing by comparing reported growth with the outlook while watching whether margins still expand.
Why is Accenture committing acquisition capital to operational-technology cybersecurity?
Management tied elevated acquisition deployment to announced operational-technology cybersecurity deals. The commitment depends on anticipated closing dates, making transaction timing relevant to cash use.
Does Accenture need heavy capital spending to generate operating cash?
Operating cash flow has remained positive while capital expenditure has stayed far smaller throughout the displayed periods. That pattern fits a services business whose principal delivery resource is its workforce.

Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model.

"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
