Is Accenture stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Accenture stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Accenture's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Operating margin TTM 15.35%
Gross profit TTM $19.7 billion

Accenture share dividends

39%

Dividend payout ratio: 38.75% of net profits

Recently Accenture has paid out, on average, around 38.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.41% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Accenture shareholders could enjoy a 1.41% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Accenture's case, that would currently equate to about $4.48 per share.

While Accenture's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Accenture may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Accenture's most recent dividend payout was on 14 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 July 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Accenture's shares ever split?

Accenture's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 29 December 2011. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Accenture shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Accenture shares which in turn could have impacted Accenture's share price.

Accenture share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Accenture's shares have ranged in value from as little as $240.1423 up to $330.435. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

ACN.US volatility(beta: 1.22)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Accenture's is 1.2154. This would suggest that Accenture's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
