Cowen upgraded Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN) from Neutral to Outperform with a price target of $110.00 (from $90.00).
Analyst Moshe Katri comments, "Our upgrade reflects Accenture’s strong performance in 2 main categories, including client spending intentions as well as spending intentions in digital. We believe strong scores in these categories will sustain recent acceleration on consulting bookings/revenue growth trends, resulting in improving overall top-line growth."
It was added, "We believe recent growth acceleration in consulting revenues and consulting bookings are sustainable given the company’s exposure to digital work (roughly 20% of FY15’s revenues, posting 20%+ growth), while the rest of Accenture’s revenue base is posting mid-single digit growth. Our sensitivity analysis suggests that digital could account close to 30% of revenues (on an organic basis) by FY17. Our survey suggests that Digital will likely be additive to Accenture's revenue growth rather than being dilutive."
