Accenture PLC ACN
What this company does
Written from the business description in Accenture plc's annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 10 October 2025. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
Revenue compounded at +9.5% a year over five years — but profit grew slower: net income at +8.5%.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
Each USD of equity produced 26 cents of profit this year.
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
