Accenture plc
Accenture’s shares rose 8.5% after Q4 revenue grew 7% in local currency, above the top end of the company’s guided range. Bookings reached $22.2 billion, while management said the demand environment—including discretionary spending—had not meaningfully changed.
Key takeaways
- Q4 revenue was $18.7 billion, up 7% in local currency; growth was broad-based across markets, industries and types of work.
- Bookings were $22.2 billion, with 37 clients generating bookings above $100 million.
- Management cited strong margin expansion, EPS growth and free cash flow, but the transcript provides no figures for those measures.
- Nearly 100 more clients began their first advanced AI work in Q4, bringing the FY2026 total to more than 400; many clients are still building the digital and data foundations needed to use AI at scale.
- Accenture deployed $1.9 billion in acquisitions during Q4; about $3 billion related to Cyber OT acquisitions shifted into September due to regulatory timing.
