Accenture cuts 2026 revenue growth forecast, shares drop nearly 15% despite strong Q3 earnings.

Accenture lowered its fiscal 2026 revenue growth outlook to 3-4% from the previous 3-5%, causing shares to fall nearly 15%. The company reported Q3 adjusted EPS of $3.80, beating estimates, and revenue rose 6% to $18.7 billion, slightly below expectations. Accenture highlighted strong demand for large-scale projects and AI transformation, with increased client bookings over $100 million. Despite the revenue forecast cut, Accenture's operating margin and free cash flow improved, and it returned $2.2 billion to shareholders in the quarter.
