On October 1, Atlassian Corporation PLC rose 5.04% in regular trading, trading at 188.17 USD/share, with turnover of approximately $152 million. The rally was driven by a broad SaaS sector surge triggered by Accenture's strong fiscal Q4 results.
Accenture reported Q4 revenue of $18.68 billion, up 6.2% year over year and above the high end of its guidance range, while adjusted EPS of $3.29 also exceeded consensus. The company further issued an optimistic full-year outlook projecting 3%–6% revenue growth. Accenture shares surged over 20% on the session, a record single-day gain, pulling IBM, ServiceNow, and other enterprise software names broadly higher.
Atlassian, as a leading enterprise collaboration software provider, benefited from the sector-wide momentum. The move was further supported by the company's own fundamentals, including cloud revenue growth of 31% year over year reported in its most recent quarter, multiple investment banks maintaining buy ratings, and a consensus mean price target of approximately $190.54. Robert W. Baird recently raised its target on the stock to $245.00.
