As of Q2'26, Accenture's (ACN) cash and short-term investments stood at $9.41B, reflecting a modest quarterly decline from $9.66B in Q1'26, while debt decreased more sharply to $5.90B from $8.20B, resulting in a strengthened net cash position of approximately $3.51B. Over the period from Q3'23 to Q2'26, cash levels exhibited volatility with an overall upward trajectory, peaking at $11.48B in Q4'25 before a slight pullback, driven by fluctuations possibly tied to operational cash flows and investments. In contrast, debt remained relatively stable around $3B until a significant increase to over $8B starting in Q1'25, likely reflecting financing activities, before dropping notably in Q2'26; this dynamic highlights improving liquidity and reduced leverage in the latest quarter.
