My Thoughts 💭My Thoughts 💭

I have no idea what this business is or does.

This stock is part of my experiment. Since I started buying this stock almost four years ago, I’ve lost almost 12%. If I add in the dividends, it might be closer to a 10% loss.

At 311.4k sats per share ($87,124), and a 7.4k sats per share dividend payment , it will take 42 years to break even on the capital investment in shares. At a PE of 21 the stock is a somewhat cheap but the 300k sat price is a bit steep.

The company has strong fundamentals. The growth projections are a bit weak, at only 8%. However, the revenue is strong, and the balance sheet is great. When you add in the dividend payment, this would be a great addition to anyone’s portfolio.

However, this stock is suffering the same issues as Adobe, which is a great business but doesn’t show up in the stock price. Both companies have lost value in the last 4+ years due to weak growth projections and possibly the fear of AI disrupting ACN’s business model.

If I weren’t conducting an experiment, I wouldn’t own this stock because Bitcoin is better. Additionally, I’m not passionate about ACN and the software/services they provide. However, as a reasonably priced dividend-paying stock, I can see ACN having a lot of interest among value and dividend investors.
