Accenture plc (ACN) DCF Valuation
Transparent DCF models put Accenture plc (ACN)'s fair value in a range of $228.39 – $258.75 — the low end is TGM's conservative base case (5% FCF growth, 10% discount), the high end the analyst consensus (FMP). Today's price of $173.47 sits below that range — by these conservative assumptions it screens as potentially undervalued.
Reverse DCF: at today's $173.47, the market is pricing in roughly -0.8%/yr free-cash-flow growth over the next decade (at a 10% required return) — versus its actual 5-year FCF CAGR of +5.6%. The price assumes a slowdown from its track record — a potential value signal if growth holds.
