Accenture shares trade at lowest P/E since 2015 despite $117.75B market cap

Oakmark Fund highlighted Accenture in its first-quarter 2026 investor letter, identifying the professional services company as undervalued despite strong fundamentals. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index, returning -2.47% versus -4.33% for the index. Accenture, a global leader in consulting and IT services, is nearly three times larger than its next three public competitors combined. The company's top 300 clients spend over $100 million annually, and it is positioned to benefit from enterprise cloud transition and growing technology spending. Despite these strengths, Accenture trades at its lowest price-to-earnings multiple since 2015 due to AI disruption concerns. The stock closed at $191.95 on 13 April 2026, with a market capitalisation of $117.75 billion. Seventy-one hedge funds held positions in the company at the end of Q4.

Accenture and Google Cloud launch Brussels sovereign AI centre for regulated sectors

Accenture and Google Cloud have launched a Sovereign Centre in Brussels to help European governments and regulated sectors adopt AI whilst maintaining data control and regulatory compliance. The facility features Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped technology for organisations with strict sovereignty requirements. The centre enables organisations to design and validate AI solutions in secure environments, modernise legacy systems, and develop workforce skills. It provides a collaborative space for independent software vendors and partners to create proofs of concept and co-innovate on sovereign cloud applications. The launch follows growing European efforts to reduce dependence on non-European technology platforms. Recent initiatives include France's Visio videoconferencing tool and Germany's openDesk suite, whilst a coalition of European tech players recently launched Euro-Office as an open-source alternative to Microsoft's productivity suite.
