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.

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.

The unit recently won a 4.5-year contract with the US Department of Veterans Affairs to modernise electronic health records for over 9 million veterans, alongside a separate contract to upgrade the National Weather Service's weather system. McVeigh noted these multi-year contracts provide visibility as AFS recovers from recent budget pressures and government spending cuts.
