| Valuation ratio | Description | The company |
|---|---|---|
| P/E ratio | The P/E ratio tells analyst how much an investor in common stock pays per dollar of current earnings. | Accenture PLC P/E ratio increased from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 but then slightly decreased from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024. |
| P/OP ratio | Because P/E ratio is calculated using net income, the ratio can be sensitive to nonrecurring earnings and capital structure, analysts may use price to operating profit. | Accenture PLC P/OP ratio increased from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 and from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024. |
| P/S ratio | An rationale for the P/S ratio is that sales, as the top line in an income statement, are generally less subject to distortion or manipulation than other fundamentals such as EPS or book value. Sales are also more stable than earnings and never negative. | Accenture PLC P/S ratio increased from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 and from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024. |
| P/BV ratio | The P/BV ratio is interpreted as an indicator of market judgment about the relationship between a company required rate of return and its actual rate of return. | Accenture PLC P/BV ratio increased from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 but then slightly decreased from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024. |
