Accenture stock rallies today...

Accenture reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue, which helped its stock rebound despite a steep decline over the past year driven by fears that AI could disrupt its consulting business. The company highlighted strong AI-driven demand and solid margins, and slightly raised its revenue outlook, but bookings growth remained weak and demand trends appear stable rather than improving. While some analysts see value in the stock’s low valuation and long-term exposure to AI and cloud growth, others remain cautious, noting that slowing revenue momentum and ongoing uncertainty around AI’s impact mean investor concerns are unlikely to fade quickly.

All concerns are just temp. Sales/profits are growing fast. This will offset debt over time... recent OpenAI funding reduces risk around its contract with us. Debt peaked. We are valued at 20x revenue, below averages - when we adjust to 25x the stock goes to $240 which is a 60% bump. Thank me later.

if not get out of the company and sell the stock, your last chance

Not sure if this is me or a catch of three RSU’s issued 2025 in stocks only , had to sell at market value 1-3 immediately. Please check your RSU’s. The third is a gotcha , please check and sell if you want the cash.

For me , two were available for cash, the third was issued in stocks with no notification, just sold at $50…..if you dont do anything, they play games !

IPO is dead on arrival. No further comments.

Historically, highest it has ever been. It really shot up in 1998/99 and then tanked. What happened during this time? Besides the Honolulu stabbings that happened well after stock was falling.

What did you think was going to happen when R&D was outsourced to Sanjay? Tech-power-house = outsourced garbage. You're fooling no one anymore!

As the title says, I never thought that SHEL would sell above $90.00/share. I guess that the rising tide raised all the ships, even the sinking ones( BP and Shel have risen just about as much over the last 6-months). There is a saying for stocks, "bulls make money, bears make money, and pigs get sla-ghtered". Frankly, I sold about half of it when it got to $75. I don't regret that... I'm still shocked that it has gotten this high. Now, I've sold off 95% of my shares and think there might be a good chance we'll hit my limit price and sell the last 5%! In hindsight, I look and think every day for the last year, it would have been better to sell SHEL and buy XOM; so, I don't regret selling early... I regret not investing in stocks I thought were too high.
Do you think that the SHEL rise continues? Did I sell too early?
I am not providing investment advice... just entertainment and anecdotes.

That’s probably not a good sign for those who would prefer to remain employed.

Who keeps/holds Fiserv stock?

You hear it first here !

Intel has to lower its unstable chips to below $500 in order to compete as gold and oil prices shoot up all time high. Intel should have gone fabless 10 years ago as success AMD and NDVIA stories. You cannot afford to throw out 50% yield silicon in hope to lead the foundry without customers again at this moment.

Surrender unconditionally is only option to avoid massive stock dump and crash soon.

Hi! I’m interested in joining Walmart - what are the bonus / stock estimates for director / sr director levels? The salary range is so wide that it’s not even helpful. Appreciate the guidance.

Hi. Looking to apply to a role at McD…are the benefits worth it at the sr director level? They don’t share any info on comp so hard to know. And the salary range is broad so that also doesn’t help. Appreciate any guidance.

Wells Fargo supposedly is doing better than it's peers but has declined from 95+ per share to 74 in a short time. The market is showing skepticism, clearly, of the firm and something appears to be wrong , perhaps unknown. I can't imagine being an employee or financial advisor and bringing clients into this mess with an incompetent CEO. To the advisors out there, you're all id--ts.

is an easy 35 percent down from here

So glad I held onto these as a level F. Selling when they hit the £6 mark.. tidy work if you can get it ...

No good news come from this POS company.

More losses.

The push for crypto is embarrassing. It’s nothing more than hype and hot air. Everyone knows the space is dominated by grifters and speculation with little real value. Watching the company turn into a shill for it is honestly sickening. Its a waste of time and resources.

WTH? Stock continues to get crushed.

Here we go

When EH first came on, he mentioned how Nike would be turning a new page and lay offs wouldn’t be like the past. More of a restructuring of roles rather than saying goodbye to teammates. Since then, it’s been lay-off after layoffs, more than the JD era it seems. And even with all these lay offs, the stock is lower than it’s ever been. Maybe he was just blowing smoke up our as--s, but makes it hard to trust leadership when they do the opposite of what they promise and then also kicks our stock/part of our pay in the gonads. Just get a double whammy.

Only layoffs will help stock price and exec bonuses.

Despite all the irrational exuberance a couple of weeks ago when Netflix dropped out of the bidding for WBD, Paramount stock hit its lowest point since TWO THOUSAND AND NINE today.

Seems the reality check finally reached buyers that a $79,000,000,000 debt load is completely unserviceable by any company, let alone one that's currently bleeding more than $300,000,000 per quarter.

But don't worry: Davey Boy is going to "reinvent the industry!"

The seven people who will still be working a PSKY (or whatever the heck he calls it) a year from now should definitely not expect a STIP payout.

Hearing to 15 bucks a share

I predict Gail will leave the company within a few months (if not sooner), whether it’s her own decision or not. I’ve been here a long time and I’ve never seen a CEO stay as long as her. Our stock is tanking, and has been tanking for at least a year. I cannot believe she’s still the CEO. She’s the common denominator in all of our troubles.

Anyone else kicking themselves for not selling EOY 2024? I invested 6% since working here and lost half. Now with the lesser match w/401k, I plan on pulling the plug once (if it does) hit 400 on ESPP. I can't imagine how people close to retiring feel about this.
I wanted to retire by 55 - and lived like a pauper to invest extra money. Really sad when the CEO's cash out making bank.

Nike Leadership finds a way to fail and lose shareholder value everyday...

Stock is almost below $38. Piece of cr-p.

It's down to $25 usd. That's a 28.8% 6 month low.

Someone in ELT is going to push the layoff button because they don't have any other buttons.

Does anyone receive stock options as part of ACP? In previous years, I was usually granted some options to offset the lower salary, but this year I didn’t receive any at all.

I’m wondering if that signals something, especially given leadership’s strong confidence in investing in AI. Does it mean my role might not be as needed anymore very soon?

How do we keep haw a declining stock prices. All my ESPP is worth nothing. Putting money on my bank account at 0% would be worth more

Earnings Tuesday night. ORCL is at $152.56. Do we short ?

Bear Case:
Oil might open at $115 a barrel tomorrow morning
$300 by weeks end is now a possibility.
The us economy is not designed for $150
DJI might open 1K down premarket

We may, just may, see the The Fourth Turning (1997) by William Strauss and Neil Howe prediction of social separation of those of living above and those living below their means.

Bull Case:
Then again, it may all pass by 4/1/26. We return to normalcy.

No Clue how it turns out !
Place your bets .....
