Accenture: Deutsche Bank maintains Hold, PT down to $260 from $290.

Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft has revised its price target for Accenture plc, lowering it from $290 to $260 while maintaining a "hold" rating. The adjustment reflects recent market conditions and the company's latest earnings report.

Accenture plc, a global leader in management consulting, technology services, and outsourcing, reported its quarterly earnings on June 20, 2025. The company beat analysts' consensus estimates with earnings per share (EPS) of $3.49, up from $3.13 in the same period last year. Revenue for the quarter was $17.73 billion, a 7.7% increase year-over-year.

Deutsche Bank's decision to lower the price target comes amidst a backdrop of mixed analyst sentiment. While some analysts maintain a "moderate buy" rating with a consensus price target of $353.76, others have issued more cautious ratings. Mizuho, for instance, has set a target price of $348.00 with an "outperform" rating, while HSBC has issued a "reduce" rating with a $240.00 price objective.

Institutional investors have shown interest in Accenture, with Redwood Investments LLC boosting its stock holdings by 6.2% during the first quarter. Other institutional investors have also increased their stakes, highlighting the company's appeal among large investors.

Accenture's stock has seen a range of price movements, with a 52-week low of $236.67 and a 52-week high of $398.35. The company's market capitalization stands at $159.45 billion, with a P/E ratio of 20.27 and a P/E/G ratio of 2.19.

The latest earnings report and Deutsche Bank's price target adjustment underscore Accenture's ongoing resilience and potential for growth. However, investors should remain vigilant and consider the broader market context before making investment decisions.
