sarah z	The consulting and outsourcing company said it will add $3 billion to its existing buyback plan, which has $1.65 billion remaining to be repurchased. On top of increasing its buyback, ACN recently blew past the street's expectations by recording its highest ever annual revenues and EPS. Fourth quarter revenue jumped 29% to $5.11 billion along with annual revenue which climbed 18% to $19.7 billion. EPS for the fourth quarter came in at 50 cents a share while full year EPS increased 24% to $1.97 a share. Shareholders were also pleased to hear Accenture's board boosted its annual dividend by 7 cents, or 20% to 42 cents a share. Accenture's chairman and CEO, William D. Green noted, "Demand for our services, particularly in consulting, remains robust. Our outstanding performance and continued momentum reflect the strength of our diverse and durable global business, enabling us to differentiate ourselves from competitors and establish a unique market position based on helping clients become high-performance businesses." Equity research firm Credit Suisse added, "With global business investment technology spending intact, we believe Accenture has some attractive investment qualities including double-digit organic growth, expanding operating margins and strong free cash flow." On that note, they maintain their outperform rating and a $48 price target. In addition, they increased their full year 2008 EPS to $2.32 from $2.27 and set 2009 full year EPS forecasts at $2.61.

barrons2	Q: Let's move on to technology. Where are you focused? A: Finding free-cash-flow yield is a big part of our stock-picking process, and we were finding really low valuations based on that in a number of mostly software companies. Whether it is Oracle [ORCL], or Cisco Systems [CSCO], even Microsoft [MSFT] and Accenture [ACN], they are all selling with nice cash margins. That is not that unusual for software companies that are doing well	Love	October 27, 2007
