A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today Accenture plc is in stage 3. The phase helps read everything below.

In the last 52 weeks it traded between $128 and $286, and at that close it sat 86% of the way up from that low.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved +130% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

Accenture plc paid $6.60 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $1.71 for Aug 2026. At today's price of $264.41 that is a yield of 2.50%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Accenture plc earned $2.0 B of net profit in the Aug 2026 quarter, +40.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $8.4 B. Over 5 years profit has grown 6.9% a year on average. That is 10.7% of the quarter's revenue.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.4 B.

For the full year, FY26 profit was $8.4 B (+9.0% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.6 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +11.6% and revenue +6.5%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

Accenture plc reported $18.7 B of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, +6.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 9th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 8.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $74.2 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $74.2 B.

FY26 revenue was $74.2 B, +6.5% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.5% on average, against 8.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.5%, against +6.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +9.0%, against +7.3% a year (stabilising).

Accenture plc's operating margin was 17.8% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 2.6 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 6 years it has been between 15.1% and 16.4%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +2.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.1 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Over the last 3 years, 141% of Accenture plc's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $12.4 B of operating cash against $8.4 B of profit. After $743 M of spending on assets, $11.6 B was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Accenture plc does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.9 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.8% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $1.9 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Accenture plc's P/E is 19.5×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 17% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 26.3×, over 4.4 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.
