Michael Burry’s accounting critique of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) resurfaced in September 5 coverage, reviving the question of whether its economics resemble a software company or a consultant. His original post dates to February 19. Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) offers a useful comparison because it earns money helping companies deploy technology, including Palantir’s. A billing balance […]

Can INOD turn agentic AI deployment into a new enterprise growth driver as customer programs scale and pilots take shape?

International Business Machines (IBM) used to hand investors a single number that made its AI push easy to check: the running dollar value of the generative-AI work it had won. That number is missing from the July 2026 call, though generative AI still turns up in the Consulting numbers. Where the figure went, and what management counts instead, is the more useful question.
The AI software company’s latest consulting tie-up comes as Burry doubles down on his view that Palantir’s valuation and business model face serious risks.

Accenture (ACN) is redirecting where its next growth comes from, and the business underneath is in decent shape. What deserves a second look is what got left behind. Two years ago management was presenting a learning arm it had built itself. On the June 2026 call it survived as one item in a list.
Academic risk and quality models computed from ACN's own filings and price history, not from analyst opinion.
Mixed: 5 of 9 fundamental-health tests pass, so profitability and balance-sheet trends disagree.
Altman Z above the 2.99 safe threshold, so the model puts bankruptcy risk in its lowest band.
Beneish M below the -1.78 flag threshold, so the earnings-manipulation model finds nothing unusual in the accruals and margin trends.
Share of earnings coming from accruals rather than cash. Higher values historically precede weaker future returns.
Hidden Markov model fitted to two years of returns, separating bull, bear and sideways states by their own drift and volatility.
GARCH(1,1) 30-day annualised forecast, below the current 45.9% reading.
Fama-French 5-factor market beta. The five factors explain 15% of this stock's return variance; the rest is idiosyncratic.
The stock’s own historical valuation anchor, which is a fairer comparison than a sector average for a company with a persistent premium or discount.
