Nvidia

$ACN (-0.13%) today announced the expansion of their partnership to accelerate the use of AI.
In doing so Accenture a new NVIDIA business group to help organizations around the world accelerate their AI implementation quickly and efficiently.
Companies that I find interesting but do not yet have in my portfolio and that have a 10-year average ROIC of over 10% and a 5-year average ROCE and ROIC of over 10%, $ANET, $MA (-0.01%) , $VRTX (+0.05%) , $RMS (-0.92%) , $PGHN (+0.69%) , $COLO B (-0.67%) , $ACN (-0.13%) , $MNST (-0.6%)
$FICO (-0.13%) , $MCO (-0.12%) , $KNIN (-0.43%) , $S&P Global, $ISRG (-0.42%)
$III (-1.56%) , $BKNG (+0.53%)
$HLAG (-0.84%) , $QCOM (+0.19%) , $CFR (-0.55%) and $IFX (-1.55%) . Already blatant companies
$ACN (-0.13%) I've had Accenture on my watchlist for some time, but I've lost sight of the share a little, but I've now taken another look at it.
The chart looks quite good (which is of course not a reason to buy) and the share is "oversold".
How do you see Accenture? Would the share be a good investment from your point of view at the moment?
What we can expect next week:

Friday:
I will be 19 in the summer, so I have a longer investment horizon.
The plan is to sell about 1/3 of the $MSFT (+0.11%) shares at a good price and then switch to the other position or an ETF. Would you be more $8001 (+0.1%) or $ACN (-0.13%) top up? Or would you rather not top up and build up an Etf basis or possibly $BRK.B (+0.09%) expand it? I am also considering the alternative $MURGY or $ALV (+0.64%) to buy defensive stocks. What is your opinion? What would you most likely choose or would you do something completely different?
My savings rate is irregular at the moment and could possibly even be dropped, as I might invest new money more in my company. However, I'm aiming for around 300 euros.
