Is coming up to the next mechanism? 865 million dollars in deals delivered with the noise of artificial intelligence in cold reality

Accenture reduces employees and graduates from parts of their business because they pay the slower growth in the fiscal year 2026, indicating deepening pressure in the global information technology sector despite the continued investment in artificial intelligence and cloud.

CEO Julie Sweet said that the company “is going out, on a compressed timetable, the people who are not returning their cradle as an applicable path to the skills we need”, during the profit call on September 25. Although it did not specify the number of layoffs, the company’s workforce has shrunk by about 7,000 in Q4FY25, up to about 770,000.

Discounts come amid moderate growth and reduce customer demand, even as Acceenture continues to give priority to artificial intelligence services and cloud services. “We still see pockets of strong demand for artificial intelligence, (but) the total growth in our main markets is moderate,” said Sweet.

Accenture now offers only 2-5 % FY26 revenue growth in local currency, a sharp decrease from 7 % recorded last year. Expectations exclude 1 % clouds to 1.5 % of its American federal actions, which slowed down under the new government efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. The comprehensive reform of the Ministry of aggressive of federal purchases has disrupted information technology contracts, which directly affects the revenues of the public sector.

CFO Angie Park added that the company will focus on improving operational efficiency and supporting high -yielding investments. To this end, Accessure plans to strip $ 865 million of non -basic assets and get out of weak acquisitions.

Despite the demobilization of the workers, the company says it will continue to employ and reconcile the priority areas to support the provision of services. The administration said that the number of employees in the United States and Europe is still expected during the 26th fiscal year.

Accenture reflects broader transformations in the IT industry. Tata Consultance Services (TCS), the largest information technology company in India, accelerated more than 12,000 employees this year, noting that the skills are incompatible amid low demand.

The shares of the company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange fell by about 2 percent after the profit report, highlighting the investor concern about the low growth expectations in the company and the strategic withdrawal.
