It is a consulting firm with great free cash flow. It executes well and has grown rapidly over the last while.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 22/22, Up 10%)

Great company. The go-to people, and they actually walk the walk on AI. Even if we go into a recession, this business is very sticky. Price target of $315.50, but he wouldn't be surprised if it goes higher. Yield is around 1.6%.

BUY

This is a pretty phenomenal company and is a leader in the consultancy business with hundreds of thousands of employees. They do what they teach and it runs a virtual boardroom. It is well priced.

(Analysts’ price target is $315.00)

TOP PICK

Large consulting company with tech exposure.
High margin business with low capital requirements.
Current share price presenting good buying opportunity.
Will be a good stock to hold for long term investors.

PARTIAL SELL

Outsourcing powerhouse. Amazing company. Pretty well priced, as his target is $315. Embraced the metaverse. Really likes it, he still has a 1% position. He'll trim as it approaches its price target.

TOP PICK

World class consulting company.
Major consultant to large corporations.
Very large company without capital requirements.
Consistently hiring top talent.

BUY

A long-term hold for her. The company raised guidance on an improving mix of efficiency and pricing. Won't see much multiple expansion but they will expand the bottom line.

DON'T BUY

They report next Friday. They do very well, but shares tend to decline after their quarters. He thinks companies will reduce digitization to save money and hurt ACN.

HOLD

First thing to get cut in recession is consulting. Demand will continue on cloud computing. Cautious on business given economy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 27/21, Down 26%) Dividend growth and buyback story. Coming recession will give companies opportunities to cut workers through automation. Core holding for him. If it went down by 1/3, he'd buy more. Yield is 1.7%.

BUY

A bit recession-resistant. Fantastic array of clients. 97 of its top 100 clients have been with them for 10 years. A sticky business. A good time to buy if you think, as he does, that the market's going to become more constructive into Q4. (Analysts’ price target is $416.00)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

IT work for Fortune 2000 companies. Good total return. Buybacks and dividend increase. Hold your nose and buy it when it goes on sale. If it goes lower, buy more. Core holding. Likes the franchise 3-5 years longer term.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Only 7.8%? Again, Accenture is steady. It isn’t Meta or Nvidia. ACN trades at 30.1x earnings, which is a far cry from Salesforce‘s 171.9x. Accenture pays a 1.23% dividend yield which (again) is safe based on a 33% payout ratio. How many IT companies even pay a divvy? You can collect that 1.23% and expect nearly 8% share appreciation to come close to a 10% return in a year. Read 3 Long-Term Stocks to Buy and Hold for our full analysis.
