Accenture plc (ISIN IE00B4BNMY34) saw Mizuho raise its price target from USD 226.00 to USD 241.00 on October 6, 2026. According to Investing.com, Mizuho maintained an Outperform rating after Accenture reported fiscal fourth-quarter results and issued its initial fiscal 2027 outlook.

Three figures reset the debate

On October 1, 2026, Accenture reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of USD 18.70 billion, up 6.00 percent in U.S. dollars and 7.00 percent in local currency. The same release showed GAAP diluted earnings per share of USD 3.29, up 46.00 percent year over year, while GAAP operating margin reached 15.30 percent.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2026, revenue rose 6.00 percent to USD 74.20 billion, and adjusted earnings per share increased 8.00 percent to USD 13.97. According to Business Wire, Accenture also generated USD 11.60 billion in fiscal 2026 free cash flow and returned USD 11.50 billion to shareholders.

What supports the higher target?

Mizuho's USD 241.00 target reflects the combination of 7.00 percent local-currency revenue growth in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of 3.00 percent to 6.00 percent in local currency. The comparison matters because the guidance range is lower than the latest quarterly growth rate, placing execution and demand conversion at the center of the valuation debate.

Dividend dates add a second catalyst

Accenture announced a quarterly dividend of USD 1.71 per share on October 1, 2026, up 4.91 percent from USD 1.63. MarketBeat reported that the dividend is payable on November 13, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 13, 2026. The October 13, 2026 ex-dividend date gives the market a separate near-term corporate calendar point.
