Accenture plc (ACN - Free Report) announced yesterday that it will sell a majority stake in its Bit2win business to the existing Bit2win management team and GELLIFY. The Bit2win’s senior management team, along with 25 personnel, is expected to move from Accenture to the new company.
The financial terms of the transaction, which are subject to customary closing conditions, have been kept under wraps.

GELLIFY is a global innovation platform that connects B2B startups with traditional firms for innovation-based products, processes and business models.
According to Alessandro Marin, senior managing director and Accenture Technology lead ICEG (Italy, Central Europe and Greece), “The new Bit2win journey is designed to meet these needs, providing clients with the solutions needed to quickly implement their market strategies while continuing the successful growth path undertaken so far.”
Notably, shares of Accenture have gained 13.4% year to date compared with 14.1% rally of the industry it belongs to and 6.8% growth of the Zacks S&P 500 composite.
Zacks Rank and Other Picks
Accenture currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Long-term earnings (three to five years) growth rate for BG Staffing, CoreLogic and Sykes Enterprise is estimated at 20%, 12% and 8%, respectively.
