The 27 Wall Street analysts covering Accenture Plc have a median 12-month price target of $223, with estimates ranging from $163 to $275. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.

What the data says: the median 12-month target from 27 analysts implies +3.7% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Accenture Plc 61 out of 100 as at 14 Oct 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering Accenture Plc publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for ACN are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business.
