Accenture Stock Earnings Reports

Accenture reported a strong Q2 FY2026 with $18.0B revenue (4% cc growth), record quarterly bookings of $22.1B (H1 bookings $43B), 30 bps operating margin expansion to 13.8%, EPS of $2.93 (+4% YoY) and robust free cash flow of $3.7B for the quarter. Management highlighted broad-based growth across geographies (especially APAC at +10% cc) and service lines (consulting and managed services), continued market share gains, and a rising mix of fixed-price/platform work. Accenture accelerated M&A and strategic investments: 3 closed deals this quarter, now expecting ~$5B of acquisitions for the year to expand into AI-native, data and infrastructure areas and to grow non-FTE revenue. The company now exceeds its AI/data headcount goal (85,000+ professionals) and is embedding AI across client work and internal delivery; management views AI as a long-term tailwind driving both efficiency and new growth opportunities (Agentic commerce, core operations, cybersecurity, mainframe modernization). Guidance: Q3 revenue $18.35B–$19.0B (1%–5% cc), FY26 revenue growth 3%–5% (4%–6% ex-Federal), adjusted operating margin 15.7%–15.9%, adjusted EPS $13.65–$13.90, and raised FCF guidance to $10.8B–$11.5B. Capital returns remain aggressive (YTD buybacks/returns $4.0B; dividend +10%). Management noted limited current financial impact from the Middle East conflict but flagged uncertainty if escalation occurs.
