Accenture is trading 4.03% down now at $182.62 after Guggenheim downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral on September 18, 2026.
- The downgrade increased caution ahead of Accenture’s October 1 fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year earnings call and overshadowed Deutsche Bank’s price-target increase.
- Investor sentiment is also pressured by recent Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo rating cuts and muted services-demand concerns.
- The company disclosed a $25 million DOJ settlement involving alleged discriminatory hiring and promotion practices.
