Accenture plc is currently running 68.7% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against ACN's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 98th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 21.1%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

ACN is trading -49.7% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -14.7%, and the deepest was -41.5% in 2025. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +7.5% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 59th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year ACN closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, ACN finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.1% and an average of +0.9%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.0% on average, its weakest February at -3.2%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: ACN has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 88 of 3,265 sessions (2.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.0% and -6.7%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 4 dated reports on file, ACN moved an average of 2.9% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 4 times, with a median move of -2.3% and a largest of -6.3%.
