Score timeline

2026-05-29 41 +4

Weakest of the professional services bear cluster. Thesis percentile only 38, no direct catalyst, and stock already heavily discounted at 14.7x PE. Limited asymmetry on short side.

2026-05-28 37 +10

Bear thesis specialist conviction is weak (38th percentile) and catalyst is indirect. Stock already heavily discounted. No convergence for a short and obviously not a long. Skip.

2026-05-27 27 -10

Bear thesis but thesis_pct is only 38, no specific AI-displacement catalyst article, and stock already heavily discounted. Poor short setup — no convergence.

2026-05-26 37 +14

Bear thesis is weakest of the cluster (thesis_pct=38). Accenture is high-quality and already heavily discounted; the AI-displacement narrative is real but ACN has scale, client relationships and an AI consulting practice that may convert headwind to tailwind. Skip — not the right vehicle to express this bear theme.

2026-05-25 23 -15

Weakest bear setup in the batch. Thesis percentile only 38 despite bear alignment, catalyst weak, and stock already heavily discounted. No convergence for short. Skip.

2026-05-24 38 +9

Bear thesis on Accenture is intellectually appealing but thesis_pct only 38 and 5d momentum is up. Low PE of 13.8 limits compression. No convergence for a short.

2026-05-23 29 +6

Thesis percentile only 38 and ACN is itself rolling out agentic AI services per today's coverage — bear thesis weakens when the target is the adapter. Win-Probability below convergence bar for new positions. Skip.

2026-05-22 23 0

Accenture bear thesis is the weakest of the group with thesis_pct 38. Low PE of 13.8 limits valuation compression. Catalyst is indirect (McKinsey competitor mention). No conviction to short a quality large-cap on a marginal thesis. Skip.

2026-05-21 23 -13

Bear thesis on Accenture lacks conviction — thesis_pct of 38 is weak, valuation already compressed to 13.8x limiting further multiple compression, and stock is bouncing. Standard Chartered headline is tangential. Does not meet convergence bar for new short.

2026-05-20 36 -11

Bear thesis on ACN is weakest of the services-disruption cohort. Thesis agent only ranks it 38, catalyst 40. Low PE limits valuation downside. No convergence for new short.

2026-05-19 47 +20

Bear case weak — ACN sells AI consulting itself, partially offsetting disruption thesis. Low PE 13.8 caps compression. Neither thesis nor catalyst converge. Skip.

2026-05-18 27 -49

Bear thesis on ACN is thin — thesis_pct only 38 and catalyst weak with no company-specific news. Low PE of 13.8 already prices in disruption concerns, limiting short payoff. No convergence for action.

2026-05-17 76 +31

Win-prob is solid at 72 but thesis_pct only 38 — bear thesis not as crisp as RHI. Stock already near 52wk lows so much of the disruption is priced. Mixed catalyst signals. Fails thesis>=60 convergence bar for new short. Skip in favor of RHI as the cleaner expression.

2026-05-16 45 -38

Bear thesis on ACN consulting disruption is reasonable but thesis_pct only 38. Already near 52wk lows means most of the move is done. Long-only fund cannot short. Skip.

2026-05-15 83 +27

Bear thesis with win_prob 72 — clears the bar even though thesis_pct is only 38. JPM/Wells/Amazon/Cisco headlines all reinforce AI eating professional services seat-count. ACN at 52wk low confirms market is already pricing this in. High-quality short fit with the AI-displacement playbook. New bear position.

2026-05-14 56 -26

ACN bear thesis is contradicted by 94 momentum percentile and the catalyst agent's own note that partnerships signal resilience, not displacement. Win_prob 72 is high but for a bear setup the thesis_pct of only 38 is weak. The IT services giants are adapting (consulting AI implementations is now their business), unlike pure disruption victims. Bear case not convincing enough to short, bull case not present to long. Skip.

2026-05-13 82 -1

Bear thesis with sector-level catalyst confirmation (Anthropic finance agents, Lenovo workflows) — but thesis_pct only 38 suggests the bear case isn't yet a top-ranked idea. Win_prob 72 is solid for the bear direction. Skip as a long candidate; note as a bear watch.

2026-05-12 83 +2

Win-prob favors bear but thesis_pct only 38 fails convergence. Stock already down 45% — much of the disruption thesis is priced in. RHI is the cleaner expression of the same AI-displacement-of-services theme. Skip.

2026-05-11 81 -9

Bear convergence is decent: win_prob 72, catalyst supportive (Avanade JV showcasing agentic workflows that disrupt ACN's own consulting model). Thesis_pct=38 is the weak link but for a bear short on a declining name with momentum_pct=74 (downtrend intact), this clears a small-size new short. Lower conviction than RHI.

2026-05-10 90 +16

Best win-probability in batch and aligned with our agentic-AI-disruption short thesis on IT consulting. Thesis_pct only 38 keeps it below convergence bar (need both >=60/65), so not a new short today, but this is the highest-quality watchlist name in the batch. Monitor for catalyst — earnings miss or estimate cut would be the trigger.

2026-05-09 74 -4

Highest WP in batch but bear thesis at 38 percentile fails convergence. Stock already at 52wk low with PE compressed to 14.7 — most pain priced in. Counter-narrative articles weaken catalyst. Skip.

2026-05-08 78 -13

Bear thesis on Accenture is well-supported by today's news flow (KPMG launching AI agents, Indian IT revenue/employee gains via AI), and WP 72 is solid. But stock at 52w low with PE 14.7 means a lot is priced in — initiating a fresh short here is late. Skip but keep on bear-watchlist for any bounce that improves entry.

2026-05-07 91 +15

Highest WP in batch with directly relevant catalyst (ServiceNow partnership confirms AI eating consulting). Bear thesis on IT services aligns with our AI-disruption mandate (Chegg/Five9/WPP pattern). Thesis_pct=38 is the gating issue — convergence bar requires thesis>=60. Hold on watchlist for further deterioration; do not initiate short here.

2026-05-06 76 -2

Conflicting signals: WP and momentum are strongest in batch (72/74), but the bear thesis only gets 38th percentile and catalyst is weak (30). Mismatch between bear stance and rebounding momentum makes this a no-action stock — neither a new short (thesis too weak, momentum against) nor a long (this is a bear-aligned name). Skip.

2026-05-05 78 +17

Bear thesis with decent win-probability but weak thesis rank and minimal catalyst support. Stock already deeply sold off and ACN has credible AI consulting pivot story. Fails convergence bar for new short.

2026-05-04 61 -10

Bear thesis but thesis percentile only 38 and catalyst is weak. Win-prob decent but ACN's role as AI implementation partner partially offsets the displacement narrative. Doesn't meet thesis>=60 convergence bar for new short. Skip.

2026-05-03 71 -3

Win-Prob is solid at 72 but thesis percentile only 38 — fails convergence bar (need thesis>=60 for new_buy on bear short equivalent). Stock 2.6% above 52wk low creates bounce risk despite structural AI pressure. Pass for now, revisit on rally.

2026-05-02 74 +11

Win-Prob constructive on bear thesis but thesis ranking only 38, failing convergence bar (need both >=60/65). Stock already 45% off highs and at floor — bounce risk elevated. Catalyst supportive but not enough to override entry timing. Skip.

2026-05-01 63 -18

Bear thesis candidate but specialists note ACN is showing resilience rather than disruption — Cognizant story doesn't directly translate. Thesis percentile only 38 and catalyst 30 fail convergence. Already down 45% from highs and oversold creates bounce risk. Better bear expressions in EPAM/RHI. Skip.

2026-04-30 81 +16

Bear thesis but thesis percentile only 28 and ACN is fighting disruption via Netomi investment. Already 45% off highs and 2.6% from 52wk low — most of the move may be done. Fails convergence (thesis<60). Skip.

2026-04-29 65 -8

Win-Prob clears 65 but thesis percentile only 28 — fails convergence for bear new_buy. Stock 2.6% above 52wk low means most of the move is done; risk/reward asymmetric against fresh short. Skip.

2026-04-28 73 -8

Win-Prob agent constructive on bear but thesis percentile only 28 — fails convergence test for new short. Stock already 45% off highs and 2.6% above 52wk low creates asymmetric bounce risk. Better bear names available (RHI, GLOB). Skip.

2026-04-27 81 +10

Bear thesis with decent Win-Probability and catalyst, but thesis percentile is only 28 — specialists don't see this as a top short. Already 45% off highs and 2.6% from floor; reflexive bounce risk is high. Below convergence bar on thesis. Skip in favor of RHI/GLOB shorts.

2026-04-26 71 -7

Bear thesis on Accenture has supportive catalyst (Deloitte/Google agentic practice) and decent win-prob 72, but thesis_pct of 28 fails the >=60 convergence bar. Mega-cap consulting with resilient enterprise spend could absorb AI disruption better than smaller peers. Skip — not the cleanest expression of the staffing/services short thesis (RHI is).

2026-04-25 78 +4

Win-Prob at 72 is solid but thesis percentile at 28 fails the convergence bar. Specialist explicitly notes ACN could be a transformation beneficiary, muddying the bear short. Cleaner displacement shorts (RHI, GLOB) available in this batch. Skip.

2026-04-24 74 -1

Bear thesis gets catalyst confirmation and decent Win-Prob, but thesis percentile of 28 suggests other bear names rank better (RHI, GLOB). Also at 52-week lows with attractive PE — risk of oversold bounce. Skip in favor of stronger bear setups.

2026-04-24 75 +33

Bear thesis has catalyst support but thesis percentile only 28 — ACN is already down 40% and trading at 15.4 PE, much of disruption priced in. Fails convergence (thesis<60). Skip for now.

2026-04-22 42

Specialists lean bearish: AI narrative pressure on professional services continues. Value optics (15.4 PE, -40% from highs) are tempting but thesis percentile of 28 and bear alignment say this is a falling knife in a disrupted sector. Not a long. Skip.

Supervisor: ALARM — the scoring pipeline has a failing check.
