Accenture slides after trimming 2026 revenue outlook
Accenture shares fell almost 15% after lowering its fiscal 2026 revenue growth outlook to 3-4% in local currency (4-5% excluding roughly a 1% impact from its US federal business), even as the company posted a Q3 beat with adjusted EPS of $3.80 on $18.7 billion in revenue. Bookings were $19.3 billion; operating margin rose to 17.0%; free cash flow was $3.6 billion, with $2.2 billion returned to shareholders via buybacks and dividends. Management pointed to strong demand for large-scale reinvention projects and AI transformation, including 104 bookings of $100 million or more year-to-date, up 13%.
