Accenture earnings drive sector sentiment

Accenture shares jumped around 19% to $217.63 on Wednesday after the company reported results that beat analyst expectations on both earnings and revenue. The stock had declined about 32% in 2026 amid concerns over AI's potential impact on labor-intensive services. Accenture's strong showing eased those concerns and provided a tailwind to enterprise software peers including ServiceNow.

What the numbers show

The gap between ServiceNow's current trading price of $136.14 and the average analyst price target of $143.71 reflects moderate upside consensus, while the highest target of $174.00 from Cantor Fitzgerald signals more aggressive bullish conviction. The Benzinga Edge scorecard underscores a growth-and-momentum-led profile offset by a weak value score of 8.32, consistent with a P/E of 83.8x that represents a premium valuation relative to peers. Revenue is expected to grow from $3.41 billion to $3.93 billion YoY, even as EPS is estimated to decline from 96 cents to 85 cents, pointing to a period where top-line expansion is outpacing bottom-line conversion.
