B Fundamentals grade

Accenture describes itself as a business reinvention and technology company. It helps organisations change how they operate, drawing on capabilities across strategy, process, operating models, change management, talent, data, technology and artificial intelligence. This expertise is delivered through consulting, managed services, proprietary assets and platforms — among them GenWizard, SynOps and reinvention.AI — and, increasingly, software.

Its revenue comes chiefly from large organisations: Forbes Global 2000 companies, governments and government agencies. It serves more than 9,000 clients — about three quarters of the Fortune Global 100 and 500 among them, plus every G7 government — of which 317 are designated "Diamond" clients, its largest relationships. Clients are approached through five industry groups: communications, media and technology; financial services; resources; products; and health and public service.

The firm is organised into three geographic markets — the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and Asia Pacific — which are also its reporting segments. Capabilities sit under seven "Reinvention Partners", covering areas such as cybersecurity, finance and talent. US federal work runs through a wholly owned subsidiary, Accenture Federal Services. As of 31 August 2026 it employed about 814,000 people.

Based on Accenture's 10-K filed October 16, 2026.

Our note on each quarter Accenture files

Where Accenture stands after its latest 10-K

Revenue for the twelve months to August 2026 was $74.2bn, up 6.5% on a year earlier, about the same pace as a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin held at 15.7%. The diluted share count is down 2.3% on a year earlier, which lifts each remaining share. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades C. It passes 2 of our 2 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $323 a share, against a share price of $239. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 0.1% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, slower than the 8.0% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 2.3% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Volatile shares. Over the past year the shares showed annualised volatility of 50% and a beta of 0.0 against the S&P 500.

Valuation

Accenture valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 2.1% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is slower than the 8.0% a year revenue growth Accenture has delivered.

  • Priced in2.1%
  • Last 12 months6.5%
  • 3 years a year5.0%
  • 5 years a year8.0%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($249.13, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Accenture's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($9B, FY2026 Q4 TTM), growing 4.8% and 5.5% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 5.7% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$230–~$400 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Accenture's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $9B, FY2026 Q4 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Accenture as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.8%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.85 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model

  • Cash conversion 17 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 14.2% of revenue.

  • Discipline 17 / 20

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Accenture’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Includes results

A results date falls inside these options’ life. Implied volatility is meant to be higher for that, so we do not call it rich.

  • Implied is 0.94× the last 60 days’ realised volatility .
  • Why: an earnings date falls inside the option's life, so implied volatility is expected to be high.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade B (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

ACN Accenture Grade B $262.07

Own 100 shares, sell the $300 call expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days) for $6.50 a share — $650 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $6.50, ask $7.50, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:13 New York time with ACN at $262.07. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If ACN ends below $300: you keep your shares and the $650 — 2.5% extra on the position, 19.7% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends above $300: your shares are sold at $300, a total return of 17.0% including the premium — at or above our value of ~$300.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Accenture in five measures

Fundamentals grade B
Growth Profitability Cash Balance sheet Value

Growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet are percentiles against the companies we cover in the same industry, from SEC filings (100 = best). Value compares the share price with our modelled value range (50 = at our base value; higher = cheaper). A description of reported data and our model — not a quality score or advice.
