Accenture is entering the new week with two developments highlighting the opportunities and execution risks around enterprise artificial intelligence. Murata announced on Wednesday, October 28, that it had signed a three-year strategic partnership with Accenture to expand AI and data use across manufacturing.
According to Murata, the companies will combine the electronics maker's manufacturing expertise and accumulated data with Accenture's capabilities in AI, data use and business transformation. The planned work covers data-driven quality control, digital testing, IT infrastructure, governance and workforce development.
Analysts Raise Earnings Expectations
A separate research update added a market perspective. Zacks Equity Research said on October 29 that its consensus estimate for Accenture's next fiscal year had risen to 14.68 US dollars per share. The report also cited a quarterly earnings forecast of 3.90 US dollars per share and revenue expectations of 19.35 billion US dollars.
Zacks retained a Hold rating and said the consensus earnings estimate had increased 0.36 percent over the past month. The figures point to moderate expected growth rather than a rapid acceleration, making client spending, large transformation programs and project profitability important markers for investors.
