Full report

Accenture Q3 FY2026: EPS Beat Overshadowed by Maintained Guidance and Managed-Services Delay

EPS surprise +2.7% Reported $3.80 vs $3.70
Revenue surprise -0.3% Reported $18.72B vs $18.78B
Stock move -18.0% Event window
Subsequent drift +13.1% Up to 20 sessions

FY2026 outlook maintained at 3-4% local-currency revenue growth with a 15.8% adjusted operating margin, narrowed from the 3-5% range raised in Q2. The maintained stance reflects managed-services booking delays pushing to FY2027, Middle-East geopolitical headwinds, and FX pressure, partially offset by AI and cybersecurity strength.
