Accenture's fiscal 2027 guidance of 3‑6% has been released, placing the firm’s growth trajectory in a cautious light.
The guidance includes 250 basis points from acquisitions, leaving underlying organic growth at a low single‑digit level.
Moshe Katri, managing director at Wedbush Securities, noted that the sector still needs a growth catalyst, citing the current AI narrative shift as a potential driver.
Valuations across Indian IT stocks remain subdued, while institutional ownership is relatively low, creating room for re‑rating if growth accelerates.
Wipro is highlighted as an outlier due to historically weaker top‑line growth, contrasting with peers like TCS, Infosys, Cognizant and Accenture.
Investors in US and Europe are likely to favor US‑listed IT names, whereas emerging‑market‑focused investors may keep a close eye on India’s tier‑one IT companies.
The market watches for a significant uptick in organic growth within the next few quarters to shift sentiment in the sector.
