Accenture has experienced a 7% drop in its stock value following warnings from CEO Julie Sweet regarding the impact of the Trump administration's cost-cutting measures on the company's federal consulting business. During the fiscal second-quarter earnings call, Sweet noted that the company has lost contracts with the U.S. government due to recent reviews, which have led to a slowdown in procurement actions. Despite these challenges, Accenture reported a 5% year-over-year revenue increase, driven in part by strong demand for its artificial intelligence services, which accounted for $1.4 billion in bookings—17% higher than the previous quarter and 133% year-over-year. The company raised its full-year revenue forecast, reflecting optimism about AI services, even as it navigates uncertainties in its federal business, which constitutes 16% of its U.S. operations. Accenture's Q2 revenue reached $600 million, up from $500 million in Q1, with total AI revenue for the first half of the fiscal year surpassing $1.1 billion, exceeding the $900 million generated for the entirety of the previous year.
