Accenture plc (ACN) has seen a promising start to fiscal 2025, with a notable share price jump recently. The firm's Q1 earnings surpassed expected estimates, sparked by its focus on AI-based solutions which in turn led to raised target prices among analysts. Its first-quarter results displayed robust earnings per share (EPS), beating estimates and recording better-than-expected start to FY25. AI bookings continued to drive growth, raising Q1 revenue outlook. ACN's growth strategy includes the acquisition of IQT Group to further enhance AI-driven solutions for net-zero infrastructure projects. Nonetheless, the company did face some stock value fluctuations, but recovery was swift, and overall institutional shareholders still hold a considerable stake. Despite some mixed analyst sentiments, a bullish view prevails on Wall Street with Goldman Sachs upgrading ACN to 'Buy' due to its leadership in generative AI. Amidst this, ACN remains focused on M&A activities, denoted by its Q1 preview where it announced the expectation to hear more on AI efforts and M&As.
