Accenture (ACN) - Reports before the open, Thursday, Dec. 16 Wall Street expects Accenture to earn $2.63 per share on revenue of $14.16 billion. These questions don’t have easy answers, given the number of variables which are still at play, including concerns around the Fed’s tapering maneuvers, interest rates and rising inflation which stands at a 39-year high. What to watch: Amid what appears to be short-term headwinds related to labor shortages and supply chain bottlenecks, FedEx stock has suffered immensely since the company reported second quarter results.
