Accenture explores sale of Greater China operations for up to $1.5 billion

Accenture has hired JPMorgan to run a strategic review of its Greater China business, which includes mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The consulting firm is weighing a sale that could fetch as much as $1.5 billion and may retain a minority stake to preserve client continuity. The move is linked to the company’s AI‑focused strategy and its FY27 revenue growth outlook of 3%‑6%.

The company says the proceeds would fund AI acquisitions and other growth initiatives, while reducing exposure to tightening Chinese regulations. A sale would also alter Accenture’s geographic revenue mix, potentially affecting its FY27 earnings guidance.
