Drop in new bookings can be a leading indicator of a possible economic slowdown or recession.

But why did they raise their guidance?

But why did they raise their guidance?

Accenture's shares plummeted despite exceeding third-quarter revenue expectations, driven by AI-related service demand. The company faces challenges from reduced U.S. federal contracts. Consequently, Indian IT ADRs like Infosys also declined, while domestic IT stocks showed mixed performance, with gains in tier-2 companies and HCL Technologies, contrasting with losses in Infosys and LTIMindtree.

Accenture ACN -6.86% reported a drop in bookings in the latest quarter, prompting investor concern amid a more uncertain relationship with the federal government.

The 6% drop in bookings, a closely watched metric that measures future revenue based on contracts, came as the consulting firm on Friday posted higher sales and profit in the third quarter.
