Analysts Offer Insights on Technology Companies: Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW)Setup heading into the print: We believe investors remain very bearish on the stock heading into the company’s earnings report on September 25. Similar to the sentiment across the Software group, we believe there is an increasingly crowded negative view among investors on AI’s structural impact on the IT Services industry, which has resulted in multiple contraction across the group. Although we acknowledge there is clear evidence of price pressure in segments of outsourcing, we believe Accenture is well-positioned to benefit from ongoing wallet share gains and strong outsourcing demand as clients continue to prioritize cost-cutting - with upside in the event of a discretionary IT spending recovery in 2026. We expect Accenture to deliver modest upside to the quarter and provide FY26 revenue guidance of 3% - 6% in CC (1% - 4% organic), in line with Street.

Accenture's Strategic Acquisition of CyberCX Boosts Cybersecurity Services in APACWe believe Accenture remains a market leader in developing and investing in next-generation capabilities, and the company’s global presence and scale remain strategic differentiators that are not easily replicated. Cybersecurity managed services is a burgeoning market, and we see Accenture as even better positioned to capture the opportunity after the acquisition of CyberCX. We are confident that Accenture is capable of capitalizing on demand for AI and tangential services, setting up clients to prepare for this next wave of transformation. We believe the new reinvention services business model is likely to bring the company closer to clients and amplify delivery advantages across all of Accenture’s markets and geographies.
