75

out of 100

Accenture Plc earns a fundamental-quality score of 75 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt -0.23× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +8%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Accenture is one of the world's largest consulting firms. It helps large companies and governments transform their technology and processes — from strategy and cloud migration to deploying artificial intelligence. Its 'product' is the talent of hundreds of thousands of professionals.

What will shape its future

  • Corporate spending on digital transformation, which rises in good times and gets cut when the economy cools.
  • Its ability to pivot quickly toward what clients want (now, generative AI) ahead of competitors.
  • Pressure on margins from being a people-intensive business, where salaries weigh heavily.
