Accenture - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy).

Should I Buy Accenture Stock? ACN Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Accenture pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Accenture
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Accenture:

Accenture recently reported strong quarterly earnings, with earnings per share surpassing expectations, indicating robust financial health and operational efficiency.
The company has shown a year-over-year revenue growth of 7.7%, reflecting its ability to expand and adapt in a competitive market.
Accenture's current stock price is around $238, which is near its 12-month low, potentially offering a buying opportunity for investors looking for value.
With a return on equity of 26.55%, Accenture demonstrates effective management and profitability, which can be attractive to investors seeking strong returns.
The company maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16, suggesting a conservative approach to leverage and financial stability, which can reduce investment risk.

Accenture
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Accenture for these reasons:

The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a beta of 1.29, indicating that it may be more sensitive to market fluctuations compared to the overall market.
Accenture's price-to-earnings ratio of 18.99 suggests that the stock may be overvalued relative to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
Recent institutional selling, such as King Luther Capital Management reducing its stake, may signal a lack of confidence among some investors.
The price-to-earnings-growth ratio of 2.18 indicates that the stock may not be growing fast enough to justify its current valuation, which could be a concern for growth investors.
With a dividend yield of 2.5%, while attractive, it may not be sufficient for income-focused investors compared to other options in the market.
