Accenture: Growth Despite Headwinds
Accenture posted expectation-beating revenue and EPS growth. The management company battled through corporate and government headwinds to produce strong results. The company's new bookings number was below expectations, a sign of the difficulty in closing new deals in this economic environment. 10 stocks we like better than Accenture Plc › Here's our initial take on Accenture's (NYSE: ACN) fiscal 2025 third-quarter financial report. Metric Q3 FY24 Q3 FY25 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $16.5 billion $17.7 billion 7.6% Beat Earnings per share $3.04 $3.49 15% Beat Free cash flow $3.0 billion $3.5 billion 17% Missed New bookings $21.1 billion $19.7 billion -6% n/a Accenture posted solid growth in a difficult period for consulting companies. Corporate customers are scaling back due to macroeconomic uncertainty, and the U.S. federal contracting environment is bogged down by efforts to cut government spending. Yet Accenture still was able to grow revenue by 7.6% and earnings per share by 15% in the quarter, topping Wall Street estimates. Financial services was the standout segment based on performance, up 13% year over year, and Accenture saw better strength in the Americas (up 9%) than it did in Europe (up 6%) or Asia (up 4%). Companywide operating margin improved by 80 basis points to 16.8%. But the results are unlikely to be enough to quell investor fears about the macro economy taking its toll. New bookings for the quarter came in at $19.7 billion, down 6% year over year. Included in that is about $1.5 billion in generative AI new bookings. Accenture remains a cash generation machine, reporting $3.5 billion in free cash flow in the quarter. The company paid $924 million in dividends and repurchased $1.8 billion of its shares in the quarter, increasing its dividend by 15% compared to fiscal 2024. Investors appear to be focusing on the bookings weakness. Accenture shares were down 5% in premarket trading ahead of the opening bell in New York. Accenture is now 75% through its fiscal year, and has seen enough to firm up some of its guidance. The company now sees full-year fiscal 2025 revenue up by 6% to 7%, compared to the previous forecast for 5% to 7% growth, and boosted its full-year earnings per share guidance to $12.77 to $12.89, from $12.55 to $12.79. Accenture expects to return "at least" $8.3 billion in capital to shareholders. There's a lot of uncertainty in the near-term guidance, with the bookings number reflecting the turbulence in the federal contracting market and uncertainty among corporate clients. But for long-term focused investors, the need for Accenture's assistance in areas such as IT modernization remains as strong as ever, and Accenture appears to be having success establishing itself as a go-to vendor to help clients incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into their businesses. Accenture still has a lot of ways to win.

CarMax's Q1 Sales Go Into Overdrive
CarMax saw a huge jump in sales, benefiting from a combination of rising momentum and the fact that used cars aren't subject to tariffs. CEO Bill Nash hailed the efforts the company has made to adopt technology and digital capabilities in order to take advantage of a highly fragmented market. CarMax is investing in capacity expansion to capitalize on demand. 10 stocks we like better than CarMax › Here's our initial take on CarMax's (NYSE: KMX) fiscal 2026 first-quarter financial report. Metric Q1 FY 2025 Q1 FY 2026 Change vs. Expectations Total revenue $7.11 billion $7.55 billion +6% Beat Adjusted earnings per share $0.97 $1.38 +42% Beat Retail used vehicle unit sales 211,132 230,210 +9% n/a Average used vehicle price $26,526 $26,120 -1.5% n/a There were a lot of good things to see in CarMax's financial report for the first quarter of its 2026 fiscal year. Total vehicle unit sales were up nearly 6% year over year, lifted by extremely strong performance on the retail side. Comparable store used unit sales were up 8.1% from the year-ago period, and total revenue from retail used vehicles climbed 7.5%. The company bought 336,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers during the quarter, up 7%, and revenue from the sale of extended protection plans on used vehicles got an 11% boost. The biggest news came on the bottom line. Earnings of $1.38 per share were up 42%, as CarMax largely kept cost increases in check. Expense management efforts played a key role, along with stronger gross profit figures on its retail sales. CarMax CEO Bill Nash put the results into perspective, noting that the latest quarter was the fourth consecutive period of positive retail comps and double-digit percentage gains in earnings per share. Nash attributed much of the gains to CarMax's workers and investment in technology, citing digital capabilities as supporting 80% of retail sales. Only 14% of sales occurred completely online, but the remainder used online channels to reserve, finance, trade in, or create a sales order for a vehicle. Investors reacted positively to the good news, sending CarMax shares up nearly 11% in the first hour of premarket trading after releasing its financial report on Friday morning. In particular, most of those following the used-car specialist had anticipated much less extensive growth in earnings. The bounce higher came as CarMax stock had been trading near its worst levels in two years. Fears about consumer sentiment had caused some to question whether buyers would step in to purchase CarMax vehicles. The results showed that despite macroeconomic pressures, consumers were prone to be opportunistic about making purchases even on terms that were attractive for CarMax. A couple of other notable things stood out in the report. First, CarMax opened two new stand-alone centers for auctions and vehicle reconditioning, one near Phoenix and the other near Dallas. These two facilities should help support relatively strong markets in those areas. Also, CarMax accelerated its stock repurchase activity, spending $200 million to buy back about 3 million shares. That leaves the company with $1.74 billion of unspent but authorized capacity to do future repurchases. Shareholders should see that as a reflection of CarMax's belief that attractive industry conditions could last quite a while into the future.
