Jim Cramer on Accenture: "It Shouldn't Be That Low"

Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer discussed. During the lightning round, a caller asked why the stock has not gained any traction. In response, Cramer said:

I don’t know… I opened the file on them again yesterday after I saw that they bought this really interesting business from Ziff Davis, and I said, jeez, … that stock’s so low. And then I realized, you know what? It shouldn’t be that low. I think you’re on to something.

Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) provides consulting, technology, and operations services, including systems integration, software engineering, and AI automation. Sequoia Strategy stated the following regarding Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

Notable new positions added this past year included MSA Safety, Inc., Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN), and Align Technology, Inc. We introduce each of these investments below.

Accenture Plc (“Accenture”), another notable new position, is the market leader in information technology (“IT”) services, providing strategic advice, systems implementation, IT outsourcing, and business process outsourcing to Global 2000 enterprises. Originally a spin-out of accounting firm Arthur Andersen, the firm has grown to nearly 800,000 employees and over $70 billion in revenues. Its market capitalization currently exceeds $180 billion.

Accenture is another company that we have followed and admired for years. More specifically, we have been impressed by the company’s strong and consistent execution against an attractive industry backdrop. Like the engineering services space, which we know well from our prior investment in Jacobs Solutions Inc., the IT services space has enjoyed consistent, GDP-like growth with minimal invested capital. While barriers to entry are low, barriers to success are high, particularly with large corporate customers for whom a vendor’s reputation and track record are paramount…

While we acknowledge the potential of ACN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
