Accenture guides towards muted Q2 performance
Economic Times
·
1y ago
Medial
Accenture has forecasted lower-than-expected revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, citing cautious spending by clients amidst macroeconomic uncertainty. Revenues for the first quarter ended on November 30 increased by 3% in dollar terms and 1% in local currency to $16.2 billion. However, the company expects revenues for Q2 to be between $15.40 billion and $16.00 billion, reflecting a negative 2% to 2% impact in local currency. Accenture's flat growth in consulting and 6% growth in managed services suggest a potentially lesser impact on the Indian IT sector.
