Accenture provides consulting, technology transformation, and managed services to enterprises and governments, generating revenue from designing, implementing, and operating large-scale transformations, including cloud computing, data and artificial intelligence, customer experience, supply chains, and financial operations. In Q4 FY2026 ended 2026-08-31, revenue was nearly evenly split between consulting at $9.3 billion and managed services at $9.4 billion, while fixed-price work, including outcome-based contracts, accounted for more than 65% of bookings. Work with the ten largest technology ecosystem partners also represented more than 60% of FY2026 revenue, making technology partnerships both a key growth channel and a source of concentration.
Revenue in Q4 FY2026 was approximately $18.7 billion, up 6.2% year over year from $17.6 billion, while net income was $2.1 billion and diluted earnings per share were 3.31. Gross margin remained stable at 32.0% versus 31.9% a year earlier, while operating margin expanded to 13.8% from 11.6%, and operating cash flow reached $3.1 billion. For FY2026, Accenture recorded revenue of $74.2 billion, net income of $8.5 billion, and a gross margin of 32.0%, compared with revenue of $69.7 billion and net income of $7.7 billion in FY2025.

The discounted cash flow model estimates value at $335 within a range of $278 to $420 and at a discount rate of 10.2%. It measures the cash the company is expected to generate and is conservative by nature. The median analyst targets place value at $210 within a range of $150 to $275 among 9 analysts. They price in growth expectations and are optimistic by nature, while the broader consensus average is $214.47. The industry multiple valuation is $172 within a range of $92 to $241, based on next year's earnings and a median multiple of 11.5 for 44 companies, thereby measuring Accenture as comparable companies are priced; meanwhile, the no-growth value is $140, representing what remains if current after-tax operating profit stays constant forever. The industry multiple method and the no-growth value are closer to each other than either is to analyst targets, while the discounted cash flow model produces the highest value by a clear margin because future cash flow estimates account for continued cash generation and expected growth rather than holding earnings constant or mirroring peer multiples.

FY2027 free cash flow compared with the $11 billion threshold
The company expects revenue growth of between 3% and 6% in local currency during FY2027, with an inorganic contribution of between 2% and 2.5%. It expects an operating margin of between 15.9% and 16.1% and diluted earnings per share of between $14.39 and $14.81.

Cash and investments totaled $12.8 billion versus total debt of $10.9 billion in Q4 FY2026 ended 2026-08-31, so the company retained a net cash position despite the increase in debt. The business generated operating cash flow of $12.4 billion and free cash flow of $11.6 billion during the last 12 months through 2026-08-31. In FY2027, management plans approximately $5 billion in additional acquisitions and to return at least $9.5 billion to shareholders, including $5.5 billion in share repurchases.
Work with the ten largest technology ecosystem partners represented more than 60% of FY2026 revenue for the year ended 2026-08-31, and revenue from this business grew 6% compared with FY2025. This relationship gives Accenture broad access to cloud computing, software, and artificial intelligence platforms, but it makes a large portion of revenue sensitive to changes in partners' spending and business models. Management reported on 2026-10-01 that prices declined in many areas during Q4 FY2026 and that FY2027 guidance assumes continued intense competition.
