On September 21, Accenture PLC rose 6.19% in pre-market trading, trading at $191.95 per share, with turnover of $96,000.

On the news front, Accenture PLC and leading AI company Anthropic announced a strategic partnership to establish a dedicated embedded evaluator team. The team will work alongside Anthropic's internal teams and safety partners to conduct alignment assessments, red-teaming exercises, and safeguard testing of AI models. Each company plans to invest at least $1 billion over the next five years specifically in AI safety capabilities. Accenture PLC will leverage the technical expertise gained through its prior acquisition of Faculty, an applied AI company with extensive experience in responsible AI testing and model evaluation for AI labs, to support the collaboration.

The partnership positions Accenture PLC at the forefront of the rapidly growing AI safety and governance consulting market, potentially opening significant new revenue streams as enterprises and governments increasingly demand rigorous AI evaluation frameworks.
