Why Accenture stock (ACN) slipped after insider sales disclosures — and what Wall Street watches next

New York, January 15, 2026, 20:05 EST — Market closed Accenture shares slipped 0.27% to close at $287.77 on Thursday, weighed down by new insider-trading disclosures. Investors remain cautious, seeking clearer signals on demand for high-value tech and consulting projects. This came despite U.S. indexes posting gains. (MarketWatch) The filings are crucial now since Accenture serves as a key indicator for corporate tech budgets, which can quickly shift when boards grow wary. Investors are also eager to see if AI-related projects are advancing beyond pilots to full-scale deployments. Wall Street is relying heavily on earnings reports and forward guidance to

Accenture stock steadies near $289 as Wells Fargo raises target; traders eye March 19 earnings call

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 12:24 EST — Regular session Accenture plc shares (ACN) were up about 0.1% at $288.87 on Thursday, holding most of Wednesday’s 4.2% jump. The stock closed the prior session at $288.54. (MarketWatch) The move matters because investors are trying to pin down whether corporate tech budgets are finally thawing, after a year of stop-start spending on big projects. For Accenture, bookings and discretionary work are the tell, not the chatter. Analyst notes are landing in a market that wants evidence, fast. Any hint that CIOs are reopening wallets can move the group, even if the

Accenture stock jumps after hours as Infosys outlook lifts IT services mood

Accenture stock jumps after hours as Infosys outlook lifts IT services mood

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 18:41 EST — After-hours Accenture plc shares jumped 4.3% in after-hours trading Wednesday, closing at $288.54. This shift carries weight as IT services stocks have been jolted by doubts over whether key clients are putting off “discretionary” projects — the kind that get shelved when budgets shrink. A clear signal from a leading outsourcer can send ripples through the sector, even when individual company updates are sparse. India’s Infosys raised its full-year revenue growth forecast for the year ending March 2026 to 3% to 3.5%, up from its previous 2% to 3%. The upgrade reflects

Accenture stock price today: ACN slips as jobs data resets rate bets, new retail AI push in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:42 EST — Regular session Accenture plc shares were down about 0.6% at $280.15 in early afternoon trading on Friday, after sliding to $277.77 at the session low. The broader market was higher, with exchange-traded funds tracking the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow up between about 0.4% and 0.8%. A softer U.S. jobs report fed the push and pull for rate-sensitive stocks. Nonfarm payrolls rose 50,000 in December, below a 60,000 forecast, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.4%, the Labor Department said. “The Fed will likely hold course for now,” Lindsay Rosner, head of

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 15:31 (EST) — Regular session Accenture plc shares rose about 4.1% to $285.18 in afternoon trading on Thursday, after opening at $272.25 and sliding to $270.53. The stock later touched $286.53, putting it ahead of other IT-services names. Cognizant gained 2.1%, IBM climbed 2.0% and DXC added 0.9%.

Palantir stock ticks up premarket after Truist slaps $223 target on PLTR

Palantir stock ticks up premarket after Truist slaps $223 target on PLTR

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 08:46 EST — Premarket Palantir Technologies Inc shares rose 1.1% in premarket trading on Thursday to $181.68, after closing at $179.68. The move followed Truist Securities starting coverage with a Buy rating and a $223 price target. The note matters because Palantir has become a high-multiple trade, where sentiment can swing the stock as much as a contract win. When the price runs ahead of fundamentals, new research can hit harder than usual. There is also timing. Rate expectations are in flux, and the next few data points can jolt the kind of richly valued

Accenture plc stock slips after Faculty AI deal; what traders watch next

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 7:39 PM EST — After-hours Accenture plc shares were little changed in after-hours trade on Wednesday, last at $273.98 after ending the regular session down 0.7%. The pullback came as investors sized up Accenture’s latest bet on artificial intelligence, and a broader market that has started to look more selective. The question hanging over the stock is whether new AI talent and tools show up quickly in bookings and margins, not just headlines. Accenture said on Tuesday it had agreed to acquire Faculty, a British “AI-native” services and products firm, adding more than 400 staff

Accenture stock rebounds nearly 2% as Redburn nudges target; dividend date and March earnings in focus

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 14:34 EST — Regular session Accenture shares rose nearly 2% on Monday, clawing back some ground after last week’s slide as investors weighed another cautious analyst update and upcoming shareholder-return milestones. The move matters because Accenture is closely watched as a read-through on corporate technology budgets, where investors are still debating how quickly discretionary spending rebounds and whether new AI work translates into steadier growth. Rothschild & Co Redburn lifted its price target on Accenture to $210 from $205 while keeping a neutral stance, according to a MarketScreener report published early Monday. MarketScreener data also

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 19:40 ET — Market closed Accenture plc shares closed down 3.1% on Friday at $259.95, after trading as low as $258.07 and as high as $271.92. About 4.9 million shares changed hands.

Workday stock slips to new 52-week low as investors brace for jobs data and Feb earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 15:21 ET — Market closed Workday (WDAY.O) shares slid 4.2% on Friday to close at $205.79 after touching a fresh 52-week low of $202.22, trading data showed. Volume ran at roughly 6 million shares, more than double the stock’s average. SoFi The drop leaves the enterprise-software maker pinned near a round-number level investors often watch for support around $200. It also puts Workday back in the crosshairs of the rates trade that has periodically punished pricier software names.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 14:58 ET — Market closed Accenture plc (ACN) shares ended Friday down 3.1% at $259.95, their third straight session of losses. Marketwatch The decline left the IT consulting firm lagging a broader market that finished higher on the first trading day of 2026, helped by gains in chipmakers. Reuters Why it matters now: Accenture heads into the first full week of the year with its stock about 35% below its 52-week high of $398.35, leaving the shares more sensitive to shifts in risk appetite.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 14:21 ET — Market closed Accenture (ACN) shares closed down 3.1% at $259.95 on Friday, lagging a broader market that ended slightly higher, according to MarketWatch data. MarketWatch The move matters because Accenture is widely treated as a read-through on corporate technology spending, from consulting-led “digital core” work to long-term outsourcing. The latest slide keeps the stock well below its 52-week high, a reminder that investors have been quick to fade rallies in IT services names.
