Accenture to Reduce Shareholder Returns Amid Rising Acquisition Spending
Accenture Plc plans to return at least $9.5 billion to shareholders in the fiscal year ending August 2027, down from $11.5 billion last year. This marks the second consecutive year of declining shareholder returns since 2001. The reduction comes despite an increased acquisition budget, with $4 billion in dividends and $7.5 billion in share buybacks last year. Indian IT firms like TCS and HCL also reported lower shareholder returns.
