  • Accenture's latest annual report (FY2026, to Aug 31, 2026) is newer than its latest 10-Q, which covers the quarter ended May 31, 2026. Accenture doesn't file a 10-Q for its fourth fiscal quarter, so “What changed last quarter” uses that quarter.

Each row is that company’s latest fiscal year from its own 10-K, using its own revenue and net income lines. Fiscal years end in different months, and line definitions differ (banks, insurers and oil companies count revenue differently), so this is a rough side-by-side, not a like-for-like comparison.
