ACN (ACN)
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.
BUY-ZONE DECISION rule signal
ACN is near the floor (~5.2% above) — SELL PUT into the floor zone collects premium while waiting for entry. Best risk-adjusted move at this distance. valuation cheap (0th percentile)

VALUATION
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.
Floor Engine
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.
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).

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.
