Accenture plc reported fourth-quarter results on October 1 that beat its own guidance, sending the shares up 15.78% in a single session. The company recorded 141 client bookings worth $100 million or more in the quarter, which it describes as a record, and reported bookings of $84.5 billion against $74 billion of revenue. Accenture expects revenue growth of 3% to 6% in local currency during fiscal 2027, against the 5% it just delivered, with full-year operating margin at 15.4% on a GAAP basis. That guidance puts fiscal 2027 earnings at $14.39 to $14.81 a share, a $14.60 midpoint that is 14.5 times forward earnings, against roughly 19 times for the S&P 500. Accenture closed at $212.30 on October 1, up 15.78% on the results and still about 16% below where it traded a year ago, after falling 13.11% over the past year while the S&P 500 rose about 14%.
