Description: ACN Accenture September 25, 2025
Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN) is a Dublin-based global professional services firm that delivers strategy, consulting, technology, and operations solutions across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and other international markets. Its portfolio includes systems integration, application management, cybersecurity, intelligent platforms, infrastructure, software engineering, data & AI, and automation services, as well as the design and assembly of robotics and other commercial hardware.
The firm serves a broad set of industries: communications, media & technology; banking, capital markets & insurance; health & public services; consumer goods, retail & travel; industrial, life sciences, chemicals, natural resources, energy, and utilities. This diversification reduces exposure to sector-specific downturns and aligns with the ongoing shift toward digital-first business models.
According to Accenture’s FY 2023 results, revenue reached $61.6 billion, with digital-services revenue (cloud, AI, and analytics) accounting for roughly 57 % of total sales and growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 13 % over the prior three years. The company reported an operating margin of 15.5 % and a free-cash-flow conversion rate of 85 %, indicating strong cash generation relative to earnings.
Key economic drivers for Accenture include sustained corporate spending on digital transformation-global IDC forecasts suggest a $2.3 trillion market for digital transformation services in 2024, growing at 13 % YoY-and accelerated adoption of generative AI, which is expected to lift consulting-services demand by 5-7 % annually. Additionally, macro-level trends such as cloud-migration mandates and heightened cybersecurity regulations create tailwinds for its security and infrastructure segments.
For a deeper, data-rich perspective on how Accenture’s valuation metrics compare to peers and to assess the sensitivity of its earnings to AI-related revenue growth, you may find a focused review on ValueRay worthwhile.
