AI is disrupting industries reliant on human labor or creative skills, forcing companies to adapt or risk obsolescence, as seen in past tech revolutions. Survival hinges on integrating AI into products and services, shifting to 'human plus AI' models, and moving up the value chain for differentiation. Stock performance reveals investor skepticism, with most of the 20 companies underperforming the S&P 500, indicating market concerns about adaptation success.

NEW YORK & SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accenture has acquired The Highlands Consulting Group.

I rate Accenture a Buy with a 2-3 year horizon, citing undervaluation versus its historical multiples and a resilient long-term business moat. Accenture's Reinvention Services reorganization and GenAI momentum are key catalysts for topline acceleration and potential multiple expansion as AI demand grows. Risks include persistent federal business setbacks, continued slowdown in bookings, and execution stumbles, which could pressure valuation and growth outlook.

Accenture's fundamentals remain strong, with Q3 revenue growth accelerating and full-year guidance raised for key metrics despite some demand headwinds. Profitability and cash flows are robust, with operating margin improvement, double-digit EPS growth, and significant increases in both dividends and share buybacks. Valuation has become even more attractive, with the forward P/E ratio near multi-year lows and a substantial discount to the IT sector average.

Accenture said on Thursday it will buy Australian cybersecurity firm CyberCX in its largest-ever deal in the sector, with the Australian Financial Review valuing the transaction at more than A$1 billion ($650 million).
