Accenture <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46024923/accenture-new-bookings-fall-in-q3-but-it-raises-profit-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported third-quarter</a> earnings of $3.49 per share, topping&nbsp;the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of $3.31.
The company reported sales of $17.7 billion, slightly exceeding the analyst consensus estimate of $17.30 billion. Sales increased 8% in U.S. dollars and 7% in local currency.

Accenture narrowed its fiscal year 2025 revenue growth outlook to 6%-7% (prior 5%-7%) in local currency. The company forecasts 2025 diluted earnings of $12.77-$12.89 (prior $12.55-$12.79) per share, compared&nbsp;to the consensus of $12.75.
Ongoing business momentum allowed management to raise its fiscal 2025 revenue growth outlook, though operating margin expansion expectations ticked lower, in line with Lee&#8217;s preview.
Management highlighted a &#8220;strong pipeline&#8221; driven by enterprises looking to &#8220;leapfrog&#8221; technology investments. They also noted improvements in the pricing environment, a significant positive shift from prior quarters.
The analyst said that raising Accenture&#8217;s fiscal 2025 revenue growth outlook does little to ease investor concerns about potential softness in fiscal 2026.
The analyst expects investors to remain skeptical of Accenture&#8217;s fiscal 2026 growth despite these factors. This skepticism stems from several concerns: new bookings of $19.7 billion were down 6.5% constant currency, headcount saw a 130 basis point sequential decline, and early signs of DOGE-related headwinds are expected to impact revenue. Specifically, these headwinds are projected to be a 2% headwind on fiscal fourth-quarter revenue growth.
Accenture&#8217;s consolidated growth for fiscal 2026 will likely be impacted by a prudent decision to make fewer acquisitions this year. According to Lee, this is because potential targets aren&#8217;t meeting their economic hurdles, a &#8220;market condition&#8221; dynamic. Management is now targeting an approximately 2% inorganic contribution for future years.
The analyst said that to meet the clients&#8217; needs better, management announced a reorganization to streamline its go-to-market (GTM) structure and reduce silos across the organization, consolidating businesses under its Reinvention Services business unit.
While Lee acknowledges that Accenture will likely benefit from long-term tailwinds like widespread technological adoption and cost-cutting initiatives, he believes investor fears about estimate risk, whether cyclical or structural, are unlikely to abate in the near term.
Lee adjusted his fiscal 2025 estimates for Accenture, raising revenue to $69.38 billion (from $68.95 billion) and adjusted EPS to $12.85 (from $12.71). For fiscal 2026, he also increased revenue to $72.84 billion (from $72.37 billion) and adjusted EPS to $13.93 (from $13.91).
Price Action:&nbsp;ACN stock was trading higher by 1.28% to $289.03 at last check Monday.

Insights From Analysts:
According to the Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo, Scott Wren, &#8220;volatility creates opportunities,&#8221; especially when the outlook doesn't call for a recession and an accompanying contraction in earnings.
&#8220;When stocks are down because the economy is slowing, buying opportunities often result, particularly for longer-term investors whose goal is building wealth over time. Our view is that the U.S. economy and earnings growth are both going to slow down in coming quarters, but neither the economy nor earnings are going to actually contract.&#8221;
The U.S. usually leads the rest of the world into an economic slowdown or recession and then leads the world back out into a period of growth, he explained, adding that &#8220;We don't think this time will be different. Hard to time, yes, but different, likely not.&#8221;
Wren also suggests investors keep a couple of key points in mind for a summer that could see larger-than-usual market swings.
First, with the S&amp;P 500 Index nearing its year-end target, Wren believes now is the time to trim stock portfolios, not liquidate them. He favors reducing international equity holdings, U.S. small-cap equities, and cyclical equity sectors like Industrials and Materials.
Second, Wren anticipates that once &#8220;summer policy fireworks begin&#8221; and both equity and bond prices retreat, opportunities will emerge to deploy cash into markets and sectors with strong long-term growth prospects. His favorites for these additions include U.S. large- and mid-cap equities, along with large-cap sectors such as Information Technology, Communication Services, Energy, Financials, and Utilities.
Meanwhile, on the Fed&#8217;s Wednesday decision, Jamie Cox, the managing partner at Harris Financial Group, said, "The Fed continues to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46011863/jerome-powell-blames-trump-tariffs-for-inflation-analyst-claps-back-says-fed-is-overplaying-the-card">overplay the inflation story</a> and isn't paying attention to burgeoning demand weakness." &#8211;
Northlight Asset Management CIO, Chris Zaccarelli, on the other hand, explained that the Fed was waiting to see if tariffs increase inflation or the jobs market starts to falter, and whichever part of their dual mandate is impacted first will likely guide whichever direction they take, "although the bias is still toward cutting rates (or at least keeping rates unchanged; not raising rates)."
