Accenture's Q3 slowdown offers limited cues for Indian IT: HSBC
By News Desk Published on June 23, 2025, 08:30 IST
HSBC has stated that Accenture's Q3FY25 performance signals a slowdown compared to the first half of the fiscal year, but the implications for Indian IT services companies remain limited.
Accenture has tightened its FY25 revenue growth guidance to 6–7%, indicating a more cautious outlook amid global macroeconomic headwinds. The company also reported a 7% year-on-year decline in deal wins in constant currency terms, suggesting softening client demand and delayed decision-making.
Notably, the brokerage pointed out a sharper drop in outsourcing bookings, a segment that usually aligns more closely with traditional Indian IT services offerings. This could be seen as a potential risk for companies heavily reliant on outsourcing revenues.
Despite the moderation, HSBC emphasized that these results do not offer a strong read-through for Indian IT companies, given the structural and geographic differences between Accenture's portfolio and that of its Indian peers.
The cautious outlook adds to the mixed global signals being assessed by investors ahead of the upcoming earnings season in the Indian IT sector.

HSBC UK cuts financial advice fee to 1% for Premier customers
HSBC UK (HSBA.L) is reducing its financial advice fee for Premier customers as part of a promotion the bank is running until the end of the year. It will charge a fee of 1% (or a £960 minimum charge) for those taking advice. Previously, it charged 2.75% in the majority of cases, with some variations. The move is part of wider efforts by the bank to step up its offering for 'mass affluent' customers, which included a relaunch of its Premier account in February. In addition to the new lowered fee, HSBC UK also recently reduced the minimum asset threshold needed for customers to access its premier investment management service, from £250,000 to £100,000. It also recently launched a switching incentive for new Premier customers, offering those eligible a 'VIP shopping experience' at Selfridges stores, with a £500 gift card and other perks. Xian Chan, head of Premier Wealth at HSBC UK, said: 'There are numerous scenarios where a customer might benefit from receiving financial advice, for example if they are planning for the long-term, have more sophisticated financial needs, or are facing a life milestone such as buying a home or preparing to retire.'
