Long-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
Accenture PLC, long-term (investment) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2026-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-02-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-11-30).
The long-term activity ratios exhibit a divergent trend between the efficiency of specific fixed assets and the utilization of the overall asset and equity base. While fixed asset productivity has seen a sustained increase, there is a observable contraction in total asset and equity turnover over the analyzed period.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- A consistent upward trajectory is observed in the net fixed asset turnover, rising from 32.49 in November 2021 to a peak of 45.39 in November 2025, before stabilizing around 43.09 by August 2026. This indicates a significant improvement in the company's ability to generate revenue from its owned physical assets. A similar positive trend is present when including right-of-use assets, where the ratio improved from 11.17 to a peak of 16.38 in November 2025. The parallel growth in both metrics suggests a strategic shift toward asset-light operations or a substantial increase in the productivity of the existing infrastructure.
- Total Asset Turnover
- In contrast to fixed asset efficiency, total asset turnover demonstrates a gradual long-term decline. After reaching a peak of 1.32 between November 2022 and February 2023, the ratio steadily decreased to 1.01 by August 2026. This divergence suggests that while fixed assets are being utilized more effectively, other components of the balance sheet—such as current assets or intangible assets—are growing at a rate that exceeds revenue growth, thereby diluting the overall asset efficiency.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover reflects a moderate downward trend, starting at 2.64 in November 2021 and peaking at 2.79 in mid-2022, before declining to a range between 2.23 and 2.35 in the later periods. This decline indicates that the company is generating less revenue per unit of shareholder equity, which may be attributed to an accumulation of retained earnings or capital increases that have outpaced the growth in top-line revenue.
Overall, the data reveals a transition toward higher operational efficiency regarding fixed capital, coupled with a broader decrease in the turnover of total assets and equity. This pattern typically suggests a period of balance sheet expansion where the growth in total resource accumulation is outpacing the corresponding growth in revenue generation.

The analysis of the net fixed asset turnover ratio reveals a sustained improvement in asset efficiency from November 2021 through August 2026. The ratio demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory for the majority of the period, indicating a significant increase in the capacity to generate revenue relative to the investment in net property and equipment.
- Revenue Trajectory
- Revenues exhibited a general growth trend, rising from approximately 14.97 billion US dollars in November 2021 to 18.68 billion US dollars by August 2026. While quarterly fluctuations occurred, the overall trend reflects a steady expansion in top-line performance.
- Fixed Asset Management
- Net property and equipment remained relatively stable, characterized by a period of contraction between May 2022 and February 2024, where values decreased from 1.67 billion US dollars to a low of 1.45 billion US dollars. A subsequent reinvestment phase is observed from November 2024 through August 2026, with the asset base increasing to 1.72 billion US dollars.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Performance
- The turnover ratio climbed from 32.49 in November 2021 to a peak of 45.39 in November 2025. This substantial increase was primarily driven by the divergence between rising revenues and a shrinking or stagnant fixed asset base between 2022 and 2024. In the final year of the analysis, the ratio stabilized between 43.09 and 45.12, suggesting that the increase in revenue began to be offset by the rising value of net property and equipment.

The analysis of long-term investment activity reveals a significant improvement in asset utilization efficiency over the observed period, characterized by a general increase in revenue coupled with a strategic fluctuation in net fixed assets.
- Revenue Trajectory
- Revenues exhibit a sustained upward trend, growing from 14.97 billion USD in November 2021 to 18.68 billion USD by August 2026. While quarterly fluctuations are present, the overall trajectory indicates consistent top-line expansion, providing a larger numerator for the turnover calculation.
- Net Fixed Asset Dynamics
- Net property and equipment, including right-of-use assets, underwent a period of contraction between November 2021 and November 2023, decreasing from 4.81 billion USD to a low of 4.04 billion USD. Following this decline, a gradual recovery is observed, with asset values rising back to 4.73 billion USD by August 2026. This suggests a period of asset optimization or depreciation outweighing capital expenditure, followed by a renewed phase of investment.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Performance
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio demonstrates a strong positive trend in the first half of the period, rising from 11.17 in November 2021 to a peak of 15.97 in November 2023. This rapid increase was driven by the simultaneous growth in revenues and the reduction in the net fixed asset base. From November 2023 through August 2026, the ratio stabilized, fluctuating within a narrow band between 15.17 and 16.38. The stabilization indicates that revenue growth has largely kept pace with the subsequent increase in fixed asset investments, maintaining a high level of operational efficiency in generating sales per unit of fixed investment.

An analysis of the relationship between revenue generation and asset accumulation reveals a diverging trend over the observed period from November 2021 to August 2026. While both revenues and total assets grew in absolute terms, the rate of asset expansion significantly outpaced revenue growth, leading to a progressive decline in operational efficiency regarding asset utilization.
- Revenue Growth Trends
- Revenues exhibited a consistent long-term upward trajectory, increasing from 14.97 billion US dollars in November 2021 to 18.68 billion US dollars by August 2026. Despite this growth, the progression was characterized by quarterly fluctuations, with notable peaks in November 2024 and May 2026.
- Asset Base Expansion
- Total assets experienced substantial growth, rising from 43.67 billion US dollars in November 2021 to 73.60 billion US dollars in August 2026. This expansion represents a more aggressive growth rate than that of revenues, indicating significant investment in the company's balance sheet over the five-year period.
- Total Asset Turnover Performance
- The total asset turnover ratio demonstrates a clear shift in efficiency across three distinct phases. From November 2021 to February 2023, the ratio improved from 1.23 to a peak of 1.32, suggesting a period of increasing productivity per unit of asset. From February 2023 to February 2024, the ratio remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1.25 and 1.32. However, starting in May 2024, a sustained downward trend emerged, with the ratio declining steadily to 1.01 by August 2026.
- Efficiency Analysis
- The decline in the total asset turnover ratio to 1.01 suggests that the incremental increase in total assets has not yielded a proportional increase in revenue. The divergence between the rising asset base and the slowing growth in turnover indicates a diminishing return on investment in assets, as the company now requires more assets to generate the same level of revenue compared to the 2022 peak.

The analyzed period reveals a gradual decline in equity turnover, indicating a shift in the efficiency with which shareholders' equity is utilized to generate revenue. While both top-line growth and equity accumulation have occurred, the rate of capital increase has consistently outpaced the rate of revenue growth.
- Revenue Trends
- Revenues exhibit a general upward trajectory, increasing from 14.97 billion USD in November 2021 to 18.68 billion USD by August 2026. Despite periodic quarterly fluctuations, the long-term trend reflects sustained growth in business volume.
- Equity Accumulation
- Total shareholders' equity demonstrates a steady and consistent increase over the observed timeframe. Starting at 20.35 billion USD in November 2021, the equity base grew to 31.57 billion USD by August 2026. This significant expansion indicates a continuous strengthening of the balance sheet, likely through the retention of earnings.
- Equity Turnover Performance
- The equity turnover ratio peaked at 2.79 between May and August 2022, after which a prolonged downward trend is observed. The ratio declined to a low of 2.23 in May 2025 before stabilizing slightly at 2.35 by August 2026. This contraction suggests that for every unit of equity, the company is generating less revenue than it did at the start of the period.
- Correlation Analysis
- The decline in the turnover ratio is a direct result of the disparity between the growth rates of the numerator (revenues) and the denominator (shareholders' equity). Because the equity base expanded more rapidly than the revenue stream, the resulting efficiency ratio decreased. This pattern suggests an increasing capital intensity or a slower acceleration of sales relative to the growth of the company's net worth.
