Analyst Target Adjustments Hit Accenture (ACN), Thomson Reuters (TRI) and TELUS (TU)
"Truist kept its Buy rating on Accenture but lowered the price target to $260 from $317, reflecting what the firm describes as stagnant enterprise AI adoption and a growing risk that fiscal year 2027 consensus estimates are too high. The concern centers on slower ecosystem spending and the possibility that AI tools are beginning to cannibalize traditional consulting billable hours rather than supplement them."
"Bank of America raised its Thomson Reuters target to $115 from $100 while keeping a Neutral rating, citing greater confidence in durable high-single-digit revenue growth, margin expansion, capital returns, and the potential for accretive acquisitions. The timing coincides with an upcoming management fireside chat, suggesting BofA sees the event as a potential catalyst for broader investor recognition."
"Bank of America upgraded TELUS to Buy from Neutral with a new $16 target, pointing to an aggressive deleveraging path and roughly $7 billion in monetization opportunities following a CEO transition."
