Accenture Guides FY EPS to $14.39-$14.81
ACN sits 57% above its 52-week low of $118.15.
Summary
Accenture issued full-year EPS guidance of $14.39 to $14.81. This is the first explicit FY EPS range from the company, following a Q3 where revenue rose 6% and EPS rose 9% but new bookings fell 2%, prompting a lowered revenue outlook. The guidance provides a concrete earnings anchor for the year and will be measured against consensus expectations.

Consulting new bookings were $9.4 billion with a book-to-bill of 1.0, while managed services new bookings were $12.77 billion with a book-to-bill of 1.4.
