Accenture plc (ISIN IE00B4BNMY34) was trading at EUR 198.83 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 4:01 p.m. CEST, up 22.58 percent versus the prior close of EUR 162.20. The company reported fiscal 2026 results on October 1, with revenue reaching USD 74.20 billion, up 6.00 percent from fiscal 2025, according to GuruFocus.

Revenue beats the prior year

Fourth-quarter revenue totaled USD 18.70 billion in fiscal 2026, an increase of 6.00 percent in US dollars and 7.00 percent in local currency from the year-ago quarter, the company release reported through GuruFocus. New bookings reached USD 22.20 billion in the quarter, up 4.00 percent in US dollars and 5.00 percent in local currency, giving investors a forward demand measure alongside revenue.

GAAP operating margin reached 15.30 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, up 370 basis points from the comparable fiscal 2025 quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per share rose 46.00 percent year over year to USD 3.29, while full-year GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 12.00 percent to USD 13.56.

Fiscal 2027 starts with a range

Accenture expects fiscal 2027 revenue growth of 3.00 percent to 6.00 percent in local currency. Its fiscal 2027 outlook also calls for GAAP diluted earnings per share of USD 14.39 to USD 14.81, representing growth of 6.00 percent to 9.00 percent from fiscal 2026, according to GuruFocus. The range makes organic demand and the contribution from acquisitions the central operating questions for the new fiscal year.

UBS reiterated a Buy rating and a USD 275.00 price target on September 30, 2026, ahead of the results, according to Investing.com. The analyst view contrasts with the stock's sharp euro-session move and leaves the outlook dependent on whether bookings growth converts into sustained fiscal 2027 revenue expansion.

Stock reprices after results

Accenture's market capitalization was USD 138.5 billion as of October 1, 2026, while its 52-week range was USD 118.15 to USD 291.09. The current Lang & Schwarz quote sits inside that range, but the 22.58 percent daily gain is the immediate market signal following the fiscal 2026 release.
