Accenture Ltd. (ACN-N) is facing a challenging landscape characterized by market concerns about AI's impact on the consulting industry and overall macroeconomic factors. While some analysts view the decline in share price as an overreaction, indicating that the fundamentals remain strong, others express apprehension about the sustainability of its business model in the face of increasing automation. Despite the stock trading at a lower PE ratio and yielding 3.67%, fears of disruption persist. Different perspectives on the role of AI in consulting suggest a possible growth opportunity, emphasizing the need for innovation.

CRM

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 21/21, Up 39%) Took profit, trying to find space to buy again. Leading IT consulting powerhouse. Cloud integration and project management. Massive client base of top companies. Price target of $416, decent runway. Buy in thirds here at $353, 335, and 315-320. If it breaks a stop of 300, something nasty is happening. Yield is 1.4%.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It reports Thursday. A great company, but it trades erratic in the wake of earnings before settling at the end of the day.

TOP PICK

Will support companies as they transition to a post-Covid world. Growing dividend, buys back shares. Best in breed in the space. Good company, further upside. Organic growth, with tuck-in acquisitions. Also good for a TFSA. Yield is 1.09%. (Analysts’ price target is $373.17)

COMMENT

They report Thursday. They're fine tech consultants. Listen to the conference call for information on how businesses can go digital to be more efficient.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 18/20, Up 43%) Good growth rate and dividend. They are also buying back shares. Has run up since recommending. Likes the company and continues to buy for new clients.

TOP PICK

Best of breed. Work from home will continue even after vaccines, and this will create opportunities for ACN. Organic growth plus tuck-in acquisitions. Spread across government and healthcare. Great story, dividend growth. Yield is 1.37%. (Analysts’ price target is $278.52)

TOP PICK

Kings of IT consulting. Client base includes more than 75% of the Fortune Global 500. Help transition companies to the cloud. On the software side of AI and machine learning. Price target of $280. Buy a third here at $260, another at $245, and then at $225 if you're lucky. Yield is 1.35%. (Analysts’ price target is $275.46)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Top of his watchlist for a long time. He owns CGI instead. The sort of high quality stock you want to buy on the big dips. High quality and free cash flow. Don't trade around, just hold it.

TOP PICK

He likes it here. On the other side of COVID, companies will be looking to reduce costs and so outsourcing will be a good one. They buy back shares regularly and raise the dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $193.92)

COMMENT

Rather than GIB, he prefers ACN. If he wanted to expand into information services, he would add GIB.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 13/19, Up 15%) They perform global consulting to help companies integrate tech. It's a soft play on cloud computing. He has high hopes for this in the future. You can buy it now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 06/19, Up 18%) One of the largest consulting companies in the world. He liked how they have evolved in areas like digital innovation, cloud applications and security. It is a lower multiple way of playing the space, although they are a little smaller than their competitors. They operate from government to financial services and communications. He is still very bullish.

HOLD

A great company, but it is not inexpensive here. She likes their re-occuring revenue model with outsourcing. If you own it, hold. She would not be buying it here.

HOLD

A great company. IT outsourcing and consulting. Doesn't own it, struggles a little bit with the valuation, owns Infosys instead. Corporations are trying to bring down cost and they are using technology to do it. If you own he wouldn't be selling at this point, thinks it's a great long term hold.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The IT service space has had a lot of consolidation. If there was another pullback in price, he would be a buyer.
