Accenture is tops in the consulting industry and sits poised to grow further into the coming decade. Despite recent competition from IBM, Dell, Wipro and Tata, Accenture's infrastructure and experience gives it a longterm advantage over its competitors. The company continues to establish itself in emerging markets, focusing recent attention on business in India. They have recently hiked the dividend 50%, the debt-equity ratio is very low, and Accenture still sports a low P/E with plenty of free cash flow. I have this stock on my shortlist of longterm holdings and although they are strictly speaking not a "tech" stock, they move up and down with the rest of the techs, so I rate them among the upper handful worth owning in that sector.
