Integrated service portfolio
One-stop delivery from strategy and consulting to tech implementation, operations outsourcing, and Creative (Song), raising client switching costs.

Ongoing tech investment
Large annual M&A and R&D in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity (e.g., a $4.18B cybersecurity deal in 2026).
10-Year Financial Trends
Revenue grew at a 9-year CAGR of +8.0% (2016 $34.8B → 2025 $69.7B). Net income (+7.2%), operating income (+8.7%), and EPS (+7.3%) grew at similar rates, pointing to organic rather than financially engineered growth. Fiscal 2025 (ended Aug 2025) posted revenue of $69.7B, operating income of $10.2B (14.7% margin), and diluted EPS of $12.15. In 2026, though, fears that AI agents could automate consulting work and lower U.S. federal spending led it to cut revenue-growth guidance, and the shares fell over 50% year-to-date (source: SEC EDGAR 10-K · company earnings).
