  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.21% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −3.33% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — Accenture plc

ACN in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Accenture is a professional-services firm that advises clients on strategy and then builds and runs the technology behind it, spanning consulting, industry-specific delivery, creative work under its Song unit, and technology and operations. It runs application management, security, cloud and data-and-AI services, and takes on outsourced back-office functions such as finance, procurement and human resources for clients. It has struck partnerships with cloud and software providers, including work with OpenAI and Microsoft on agentic AI systems for enterprise customers. It is domiciled in Dublin and listed in New York.
Where it sits in the stack
Accenture carries no seat in our Rubin index of the AI build-out or in Halo, our software index; it sits instead in the technology-services sleeve of our universe, the group of firms that implement rather than design or manufacture the infrastructure.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group has not set a formal comparison for this name; the competitor the market most often names alongside it is IBM's consulting arm.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Accenture is a constituent of the S&P 500 but holds no seat in Rubin or Halo, and it does not yet carry a Closelooknet score; the diary has not logged any quotes on it.
What the diary watches
Whether the shift in analyst sentiment reflected in the recent downgrade persists, and whether its AI-partnership work with OpenAI and Microsoft shows up as new deal volume rather than pilot projects.
