In recent news,
M&G Plc has taken a significant position of $19.01 million in
Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN), after a series of share trading activities by institutional owners. Despite the recent 3.9% pullback adding to Accenture's one-year losses, there appears to be bullish indications from
UBS as the firm upgrades its recommendation for Accenture to 'Buy'. Accenture's shares are likely attracting interest, owing to last week's 10% gain, the company's AI prospects, and the 78% share held by institutional shareholders. However,
Accenture's stock also saw sales from insiders, including the CFO selling 3,000 shares which sparks caution. The company also acquired retail tech services firm and semiconductor design capabilities with
Cientra as a new approach to improving its positioning in the tech market. Although their five-year earnings growth trails behind the 12% YoY shareholder returns, Accenture's commitment to accompany Fortune 500 firms into the AI era, coupled with optimistic Q2 2024 earnings reports, may make them an attractive long-term investment.
