The company's operating income rose by 10% to $3 billion, with an operating margin of 16.8% [1]. This strong performance was driven by sustained demand and the company's leadership in generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) services.Accenture's revenue growth has been consistent, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% over fiscal years 2021 to 2024, reaching $64.9 billion.

Despite these challenges, Accenture's strong financial performance and leadership in AI services make it a compelling play for long-term investors with a multi-year horizon.
