Just noticed ACN took a hit recently - dropped 1.34% while the broader market actually went up. That's an important note for anyone watching this stock. Over the past month it's been down over 20%, which is way worse than the tech sector overall. The company's earnings are coming up in a couple weeks and there's definitely something to pay attention to there.



Looking at the numbers, they're expecting about $2.87 per share this quarter, which would be up around 1.77% year-over-year. Revenue guidance is solid too - projecting $17.74 billion for the quarter, up 6.51% from last year. For the full year they're calling for $13.87 EPS and $73.9 billion in sales. Here's an important note though: the valuation is looking a bit stretched compared to peers. Trading at a Forward P/E of 15.05 while the industry average is 12.75, so you're paying a premium here.

The PEG ratio is sitting at 2.01, which is notably higher than the industry average of 1.2 - another important note to consider if you're thinking about entry points. Zacks has them ranked as a Buy with recent EPS estimate revisions moving slightly positive. The Computers-IT Services industry itself is ranked pretty well at 80, putting it in the top third of all sectors. It's worth watching how earnings actually come in versus these projections before making any moves.
