Accenture plc (IE00B4BNMY34) was trading at EUR 176.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 11:11 a.m. CEST, plus 1.06 percent versus the EUR 174.65 prior close. On October 2, 2026, Morgan Stanley raised its Accenture price target from USD 175.00 to USD 195.00 while keeping an Equal Weight rating, according to MarketBeat.
Target rises but rating stays neutral
Morgan Stanley's new target remains below the USD 212.05 share price cited in the October 2 report, making the analyst action a valuation recalibration rather than a bullish rating change. The same report gives Accenture a consensus Hold rating and an average target of USD 210.81.
TD Cowen also raised its target from USD 173.00 to USD 193.00 while retaining Hold on October 2, according to Investing.com. That split between higher targets and unchanged ratings keeps the debate centered on valuation and the durability of artificial-intelligence demand.
