Accenture Ltd. (ACN) is facing significant market skepticism due to the perceived threats posed by AI technology, leading to a 36% decline in its stock value over the past year. Experts note that while AI may indeed affect consulting practices, ACN has the potential to leverage AI tools to increase efficiency rather than be completely supplanted. Some analysts argue that the fear surrounding AI disruptions is overblown, emphasizing that firms will continue to require consultancy services. Furthermore, the company's fundamentals remain strong, with attractive dividend yields and buyback strategies. Nonetheless, there is caution regarding potential layoffs and the long-term impact of AI on discretionary IT spending, suggesting a mixed outlook for the consulting giant.

TOP PICK

Has owned for years. It is a consulting company with clients all around the world and is a good way to invest in technology. They are consultants in cloud computing, security and ESG related platforms. Also more recently has become involved in the Metaverse and is growing that platform. One third of cash flow goes to acquiring niche companies in high growth areas, one third to dividend growth, and one third to stock buybacks. It is down 22% from its highs and is at 30X earnings, the lower end of the range.

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.
