The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- ACN closes above its 50-day average ($204.31), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($191.26): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $262.73, ACN is 9.7% below its 1-year high of $291.09, set on January 14, 2026, and 122.4% above its 1-year low of $118.15 (June 22, 2026).
- Over the past month ACN rose 32.1%, from $198.90 to $262.73.
- ACN trades at 19.4x its last twelve months of earnings and 16.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 17.2% higher.
- Its P/E is 9.4% below the 21.4x median of the 3 other it services companies we track (IBM, CTSH, IT).
- ACN's 30-day volatility, 46.9% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 3.0%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.00: over five years of monthly returns, ACN moved about 1.00% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 0.4x ACN's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $204.31 (−22.2% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $191.26 (−27.2%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $291.09 (+10.8%) would be a new 1-year high; below $118.15 (−55.0%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for ACN, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under it services among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for ACN by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
