ACN Insider Buying & Government Contracts (2026)

ACN insider buying and selling over the past year

Insiders at Accenture plc only sold stock in the open market over the past year: 21 Form 4 sales totaling $16.08M, against no open-market purchases.

Most of the selling was pre-scheduled: 21 of the 21 sales (100.0%) were flagged as Rule 10b5-1 plan trades, which are set up in advance and say less about an insider's current view than discretionary sales. Activity clustered in 2026-01 (11 trades) and 2026-02 (5 trades); the latest filing in this window is dated 2026-02-10. The average open-market sale price was $257.32; the last close of $229.68 is 10.7% below that level, so sellers exited above the current price. The single largest trade was a sale of 9,000 shares worth $2.28M on 2025-10-29. Since the most recent filing the stock has moved -4.6%, from $240.86.
