Accenture plc (IE00B4BNMY34) delivered USD 74.2 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, a 6 percent increase in U.S. dollars, as the company reported its annual results on October 1, 2026. The figures put growth and profitability at the center of the investment case after a difficult year for the stock.

Revenue and earnings accelerate

According to Investing News Network on October 1, 2026, fourth-quarter revenue reached USD 18.7 billion, up 6 percent in U.S. dollars and 7 percent in local currency. New bookings totaled USD 22.2 billion in the quarter and USD 84.5 billion for the full fiscal year.

Fiscal 2026 GAAP diluted EPS rose 12 percent to USD 13.56, while adjusted EPS increased 8 percent to USD 13.97. Full-year GAAP operating margin reached 15.4 percent, up 70 basis points from fiscal 2025, and free cash flow totaled USD 11.6 billion.

Guidance sets the next test

Accenture's fiscal 2027 outlook calls for revenue growth of 3 percent to 6 percent in local currency and GAAP diluted EPS of USD 14.39 to USD 14.81. The range is materially slower than the 6 percent fiscal 2026 revenue increase in U.S. dollars, making execution against the new outlook a central valuation question.

The company also plans to return at least USD 9.5 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2027. In fiscal 2026, cash returned reached USD 11.5 billion, up 38 percent, including USD 7.5 billion in repurchases or redemptions.
