Accenture Capital, guaranteed by Accenture plc, has launched a $5 billion debt offering, comprising $4.7 billion in notes and $300 million in floating rate notes due 2029. This significant capital raise follows an FWP filing on the same day that finalized the terms. The offering provides substantial liquidity, which could be used to fund general corporate purposes, including the recently increased $7.5 billion share repurchase program. This comes after Accenture recently lowered its full-year revenue guidance, leading to a notable stock decline.
