Accenture plc Analyst Notes
On March 27, 2014, Accenture plc
(Accenture) announced its financial results for Q2 FY 2014 (period
ended February 28, 2014) and reported
slightly higher-than-expected decline in net income to $1.03 from $1.65 in
Q2 FY 2013. Analysts polled by Reuters expected the EPS at
$1.04. The stock ended the session
lower by 5.03% at $78.80. The decline
in stock was, however, limited by Accenture's upward revision in FY
2014 earnings guidance. Accenture raised its profit forecast to
$4.50 - $4.62 for FY 2014.
For Q2 FY 2014, the Company registered an operating income of
$951.28 million, compared with
$1.16 billion during Q2 FY 2013.
"Operating results for the quarter reflect lower contract
profitability, primarily due to pricing pressures and higher
payroll costs and, to a lesser extent, lower margins in the early
stages of a few large contracts," said Accenture, in a statement.
During the second quarter, Accenture repurchased or redeemed 9.2
million shares, including approximately 6.5 million shares
repurchased in the open market, for a total of $739 million. The full analyst notes on Accenture
