Thursday's market session ended on a positive note, with the Dow Jones climbing over 150 points and investor sentiment leaning optimistic.

Accenture $ACN report a strong Q1 earnings. The consulting and technology giant posted GAAP earnings of $3.59 per share, beating estimates by $0.20. Revenue wasn’t just good—it was phenomenal—hitting $17.7 billion, a solid $570 million above expectations. What’s driving this success? A boom in demand for generative AI services, which also pushed new bookings to $18.7 billion, well above last year’s numbers. On top of that, Accenture raised its fiscal 2025 revenue outlook, signaling even more confidence in the road ahead.

But it wasn’t all sunshine. While the revenue beat was impressive, the company’s decision to lower its earnings forecast has some analysts raising eyebrows. Can Accenture keep its growth momentum alive as macroeconomic challenges pile up? That’s the big question. Meanwhile, related companies like Infosys $INFY and Wipro $WIT rode the wave, with their ADRs jumping nearly 3% on the positive sentiment stemming from Accenture’s results.

FedEx $FDX also made waves with a bold announcement. it’s spinning off its freight division. The logistics powerhouse delivered mixed Q2 results, with non-GAAP EPS of $4.05 beating estimates by $0.12, but revenue came in at $22 billion, slightly below expectations. Despite the revenue miss, investors were encouraged by the freight spin-off news, which is aimed at improving operational efficiency. The company also revised its fiscal 2025 outlook, reflecting ongoing economic pressures, but that didn’t stop $FDX from rallying in after-hours trading.

Nike $NKE and United States Steel $X caught some after-hours attention. Nike is riding some mixed sentiment following its latest earnings, while United States Steel continued to see steady interest as part of Thursday’s broader market buzz.
