Earnings and Revenue Trajectory
AI Review
The company's latest financial results tell a story of solid cash generation despite slowing sales growth. For the trailing twelve months ended May 31, 2026, revenue reached $73.1 billion, representing modest mid-single-digit expansion. While client budget scrutiny caused discretionary consulting bookings to soften, long-term managed services continued to grow, providing dependable recurring revenue. The headline numbers hide an impressive cash performance. The business generated over $12.5 billion in trailing free cash flow, converting more than one hundred percent of net income into cash. This indicates that while headline demand has moderated, the core engine remains intact and highly profitable.

Profitability & Margins
Margins and Operating Efficiency
AI Review
Profit margins have shown unexpected durability during a turbulent industry shift. In the May 2026 quarter, operating margins reached 17.0% while gross margins held steady near 32.8%. Rather than suffering immediate pricing collapse, profitability held up because overhead costs were trimmed following earlier corporate restructuring. The key factor to watch is project delivery pricing. As the company rolls out internal automation tools, it can complete fixed-fee projects with fewer labor hours. If it successfully retains those cost savings rather than passing them entirely to clients as discounts, operating margins will remain well supported.
