Significance 6/10

CEO John F Walsh sells 3,986 shares of ACN for $1.1M; strong 90-day sell timing pattern across 5 prior trades.

Walsh executed 5 separate sales totaling 3,986 shares for $1,101,644.48 on 2026-01-27, reducing his holdings by 12.8% to 27,221 shares. His same-ticker trade history at ACN reveals a noteworthy pattern: all 5 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, each followed by negative 90-day returns ranging from -19.5% to -26.6%. This current transaction follows that established pattern of disciplined exit timing. The blended sale price of $276.38 was executed near current levels ($275.80), positioning the sale relative to a 52-week range of $232.56–$398.25 where the stock is currently 30.8% below its high. Fundamentally, ACN remains substantial (revenue $18.7B, market cap $175.7B), and the cross-ticker track record shows 75.00% well-timed sales historically, though ACN-specific outcomes dominate the timing signal here.

Significance 6/10

ACN COO Walsh sells 2,500 shares at $325.00 for $812,500; stock down -19.6% from 52-week high; insider's prior 5 ACN trades 100% well-timed at 90-day mark.

Walsh John F, Chief Operating Officer of Accenture plc, sold 2,500 shares at $325.00 on 2025-05-13 for $812,500.00, reducing his holdings by -13.6% from 18.4K to 15.9K shares. The current price of $320.41 is -19.6% from the 52-week high of $398.25, positioning this sale in a declined-price window. Notably, Walsh's prior 5 trades at ACN show a perfect 5 of 5 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark, with 90-day returns of -20.4%, -20.2%, -20.0%, -19.5%, and -6.5% respectively. His cross-ticker track record spanning 15 prior sells reflects a 73.33% well-timed rate at 90 days, demonstrating consistent ability to identify downside before it occurs. The current sale follows the same pattern: sold at $325.00 when stock is already -19.6% from its highs, and the recent 30-day gain of +10.6% against a 90-day decline of -17.7% suggests near-term volatility in a broader downtrend.

Significance 6/10

ACN COO Walsh sells 2,500 shares for $902.7K at blended avg $361.09; 100% hit rate on prior ACN sells at 90-day mark.

John F Walsh, Chief Operating Officer of Accenture plc, executed 4 separate sales totaling 2,500 shares for $902,719.69 on 2025-01-23 at prices ranging from $358.07 to $362.23, reducing his holdings by 11.2% to 19,737 shares post-transaction. His prior 5 open-market sales at ACN all registered negative 90-day returns (ranging from -5.0% to -6.8%), establishing a 100% well-timed sell pattern at this ticker. The current trading context shows ACN at $373.15, near its 52-week high of $386.91, with recent momentum (+4.8% over 30 days) but elevated valuation (P/E 31.41). Walsh's consistent track record of selling before downturns at this specific security, combined with the current proximity to 52-week highs and the magnitude of this $902.7K liquidation, warrants attention to whether fundamental deterioration follows.

Significance 5/10

ACN COO John F Walsh sold 5,000 shares across 3 transactions for $1,866,218.50; prior trades at ticker show strong 90d timing (4 of 5 well-timed)

John F Walsh, Chief Operating Officer of Accenture plc, executed 3 separate sales totaling 5,000 shares for $1,866,218.50 on 2024-10-17, reducing his holdings by -22.1% from 22,593 to 17,593 shares. His prior trading history at ACN is notably strong: 4 of 5 previous sales at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with three March 2024 sells each followed by 90-day declines (ranging from -6.5% to -7.3%), suggesting a pattern of selling ahead of downturns. However, this transaction occurred as ACN was approaching its 52-week high ($386.91), trading at $376.86 current price with +12.1% 30-day and +14.5% 90-day gains—a notably different market backdrop than his prior well-timed exit points. The blended sale price of $373.24 sits well within recent momentum.
