Avoid

ACN is flagged as AVOID despite appearing statistically cheap, because its floor calculations are unreliable and the price is already below historical extreme valuations.

  • The stock trades at a PE of 14.19, which is the 0th percentile of its 5-year history, making it appear cheap, but the valuation floor formula yields a mean-reversion target above the current price, not a downside floor.
  • The estimated floor of $164.87 is derived from a single model (EPV) and carries low confidence, with warnings that dividend-based floors are inverted and valuation-based calculations are misaligned.
  • Implied volatility is high (IV rank 93.9%), suggesting elevated option premiums often associated with uncertainty or downside risk, not a typical characteristic of a stable value play.
Verdict bucket from deterministic rule (validation / floor distance / risk alerts). LLM narration only — never picks the bucket.

Accenture is cheap based on its trailing P/E of 15.9x, which is at the 0th historical percentile. Its low growth of 4% is not priced for a premium, offering a margin of safety. The biggest risk is sustained low earnings growth justifying the depressed multiple.

Sufficient earnings data; P/E historical percentile directly measures overvaluation or undervaluation

DIVIDEND low
method skipped: dividend grew past historical regime (forward div 6.52 vs early 3y median implied div 2.54, ratio 2.57). Historical p95 yield was set when dividend was lower; fwd_div / p95_yield mixes regimes.

VALUATION low
method skipped: stock is already pricing CHEAPER than its 5-year extreme — current PE 11.7× vs historical 5th-pct 17.1×. The PE-percentile formula gives 17.1× × EPS = 253.72, which is ABOVE the current price 173.47, making it a mean-reversion target (where the stock could rally TO), not a downside floor (where buyers would step in).

Is ACN (ACN) overvalued right now?

ACN (ACN) is currently trading at a trailing P/E of 14.2, sitting at the 0th percentile of its 5-year valuation history. A high percentile suggests the market is pricing the stock above its own historical norm — useful context before sizing a new position or selling premium against it.

ACN (ACN) — what's the SELL PUT risk profile?

Selling cash-secured puts on ACN (ACN) is a common income strategy, but the right strike depends on your floor price (the level you'd happily own at) and the option chain's buffer/APY tradeoff. The full ladder view (deferred to a future release) ranks candidates by buffer percentage first, then APY — see the option ladder methodology for why buffer matters more than yield in this strategy.

ACN (ACN) — which option strategy fits your view?

If you're bullish long-term but cautious near-term on ACN (ACN), SELL PUT into your floor zone collects premium while waiting for a better entry. If you already own it and are neutral-to-mildly-bullish, COVERED CALL caps upside but harvests time decay. The wrong strategy on the right ticker still loses money — match the trade to your view, not the other way around.

ACN (ACN) — is now a good entry?

Entry timing on ACN (ACN) is a function of your floor price (hard buy zone) and golden price (back-the-truck-up zone). Both are personal — set them in your watchlist and we'll alert you when the market hits either level.

FAQ

Why does ACN show different P/E numbers on different sites?

Different data providers use different earnings windows (TTM vs forward, GAAP vs adjusted) and update at different cadences. We surface trailing P/E with a 5-year percentile rank to give context — a P/E of 30 is hot for one stock and cold for another.

Does this page show ACN's implied volatility?

Not on this v0 page — the dedicated volatility tool covers IV with multi-source voting (IBKR + Polygon + yfinance). For pure IV lookup, use /tools/volatility. This page is for decision-stage queries that pull together valuation + portfolio context.

How is this different from Yahoo Finance or 雪球's ACN page?

Those sites are great for raw data discovery — last price, news, headline P/E. This page is built for the second look: you've already seen a single-dimension signal somewhere else, now you need multi-dimensional decision context (your floor, the valuation percentile, your portfolio overlay) in one view, not five tabs.
