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.
