Hello my dears,
Should this make the stock, which was very battered last year, interesting again?
The share is currently scratching the 200-day line.
Could therefore also become interesting for our traders. @Multibagger

But also fundamentally in good shape.
With a historically low P/E ratio of 17, which continues to fall.

This could even change positively today.
Accenture is buying the British start-up Faculty and stepping up its focus on artificial intelligence. The deal shows how profoundly the consulting industry is changing.
Accenture acquires the British company Faculty. The deal is part of the strategy to reposition itself as a leading provider of artificial intelligence. The company announced the agreement on Tuesday. The parties involved did not disclose the purchase price. Bloomberg first reported the news.
New head of technology from London
Faculty CEO Marc Warner is moving to Accenture, where he will become Chief Technology Officer. Around 400 Faculty employees are joining the consultancy group. Accenture also plans to offer the Frontier product, which bundles software and analyzes company data for management decisions.
Consulting industry under AI pressure
Like many of its competitors, Accenture is consistently focusing its business on generative artificial intelligence. The technology is intended to increase productivity, but threatens traditional consulting services. CEO Julie Sweet has already stated that 500,000 employees are being trained to use this technology, almost 800,000 in total. The company is also parting ways with employees who cannot be reassigned to AI-related tasks.
Competitors are also reacting. McKinsey and Company is planning to cut 200 technical positions worldwide. According to informed sources, around 10 percent of the global workforce will leave in the long term in order to cushion weaker sales growth.
Faculty as Palantir rival
Faculty was founded in 2014 and competes with providers such as Palantir. The company combines data analysis software with consulting services for companies and government agencies. During the pandemic, Faculty supported the British National Health Service with the coronavirus response.
The start-up works closely with the United Kingdom. It is involved in the Artificial Intelligence Security Institute, which researches secure applications of advanced artificial intelligence. Faculty also helps companies to train employees in the use of AI tools and to develop their own systems.
