Accenture Expands in Japan, Opens Innovation Hub in Tokyo
Read MoreHide Full Article
Accenture Plc (ACN - Free Report) recently unveiled its innovation hub in Tokyo’s Minato Ward. As described by Accenture, its clients “will work side-by-side” with the company’s professionals “to ideate, rapidly prototype and launch solutions” at this innovation hub, in order to meet the requirements of the fast-evolving digital world.
The company stated that the recent move is part of its broader strategy to open new facilities in the country to provide its clients access to Accenture’s “deep industry knowledge, leading technology capabilities and business acumen.”
Additionally, Accenture announced its plan of expanding the existing Kansai office which is located in Osaka, on Honshu next month and relocation of its headquarters in a bigger office this spring. Apart from this, it intends to open a branch on Kyushu Island’s Fukuoka city.
Per the company, “Clients now have access to all six elements of the Accenture Innovation Architecture — Accenture Research, Accenture Ventures, Accenture Labs, Accenture Studios, Accenture Innovation Centers and Accenture Delivery Centers.”
The strategy will help Accenture have its offices near “more client headquarters.” We believe with these footprint-expansion moves, the company will be able to help clients create, manage, integrate and analyze value-focused solutions, thereby reducing cost and giving clients increased responsiveness to change.
The company’s long-term prospects look promising, driven by sustained focus on innovative product roll outs, continued investments in enhancing digital and marketing capabilities, along with major acquisitions. In addition, we believe regular acquisitions will significantly contribute to the revenue stream.
Accenture’s shares have appreciated 39.3% in a year’s time, outperforming 34.5% growth recorded by the industry it belongs to.
Currently, Accenture carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
The long-term expected EPS growth rates for Mellanox Technologies, SMART Global Holdings and Micron Technology are 16%, 15% and 10%, respectively.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
