Over on CAPS, 1,082 of the 1,127 members who have rated Accenture -- some 96% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include pmgwbp and "All-Star" pick compiler AllStarPortfolio.

Last week, pmgwbp tapped the stock as an international turnaround opportunity: "[S]trong fundamentals, strong cash flow and cash on hand. Global consulting will continue to book business during recession and rebound quickly when recession ends."

In a write-up from one day later, AllStarPortfolio (using a pick and pitch from russiangambit) further accentuates Accenture's positives:

[B]est in class IT consulting and outsourcing company, head and shoulders above all its other competitors. The next closest competitor is IBM. You can think of them as [Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS)] of IT consulting in terms of talent.

The company has shown consistency in its earnings and still has a lot of growth potential should the economy turn. Its price currently at a depressed level, but the fact that it wasn’t completely obliterated in the sell off (only lost 30% vs. 50-70%) is a sign of resilience. Current P/E is 10. The company pays dividend of about 1.5%.
