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.
