Introduction
Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) will be reporting its Q3 2025 results on June 20th before the market opens, so I thought I’d go through some numbers and give some comments on what I will be
Accenture Q3 Preview: Needs To Do A Lot More To Impress Me
Summary
- I maintain my Hold rating on Accenture plc, as growth remains modest, and the stock appears overvalued despite recent share price declines.
- Q3 expectations are for slight beats on revenue and EPS, but I don’t expect these to drive meaningful upside in the share price.
- I’m watching for sustained momentum in new bookings, especially in GenAI, and want to see more aggressive top-line growth and operational improvements.
- Ongoing margin pressures, macroeconomic risks, and federal contract uncertainties keep me cautious; I see potential downside in ACN stock before recovery.
MSc in Finance. Long-term horizon investor mostly with 5-10 year horizon. I like to keep investing simple. I believe a portfolio should consist of a mix of growth, value, and dividend-paying stocks but usually end up looking for value more than anything. I also sell options from time to time.
