A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of V, MA, BABA and UBER that day, the largest companies in ACN’s SEC industry; “moved with ACN” means the same direction and at least half the size.

What’s next · results

Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did

Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). ACN reports before the open, so day 1 is that day’s close. Each time, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Same industry

ACN against four same-industry peers, a year at 100

ACN is up 7.5% in a year. Visa is up 25.8% and Mastercard 18.8%. Of these four, Uber (−25.2%) and Alibaba Group (−36.7%) did less. Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
