Let&#39;s look at the factors in detail that make the stock an attractive pick.
</div>
<h2>Technology-Based Growth Strategy</h2>
Accenture&#39;s broader growth strategy focuses on delivering comprehensive value to its stakeholders through technology. By focusing on building a digital core with cloud, data, and AI technologies and investing in talent, Accenture is well-positioned for long-term success. We believe this strategy positions Accenture as a trusted partner for its clients and keeps the stock attractive.
<h2>Strong Cash Position</h2>
Accenture had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $5.5 billion at the end of third-quarter fiscal 2024 against a total long-term debt of just $69 million. Cash provided by operating activities was $1 billion and free cash flow came in at $1 million. Accenture generates&nbsp;significant cash from operations&nbsp;and also holds a huge cash balance, management has the flexibility to pursue growth in any areas that exhibit true potential.
This flexibility and technological prowess allowed it to pursue acquisition opportunities in different markets. The company spent $2.5 billion across 25 acquisitions in fiscal 2023.&nbsp;A disciplined acquisition strategy&nbsp;helps ACN channel its business in high-growth areas, adding skills and capabilities, and deepening industry and functional expertise.
<h2>Dividend Spinner</h2>
Commitment to shareholder returns makes ACN a reliable way for investors to compound wealth over the long term. The company paid $2.8 billion, $2.5 billion and $2.2 billion in dividends in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We are expecting steady income growth, which will translate to steady cash flow, enabling it to pay out stable dividends.

When it comes to short-term investing or trading, they say &quot;the trend is your friend.&quot; And there&#39;s no denying that this is the most profitable strategy. But making sure of the sustainability of a trend to profit from it is easier said than done.
The trend often reverses before exiting the trade, leading to a short-term capital loss for investors. So, for a profitable trade, one should confirm factors such as sound fundamentals, positive earnings estimate revisions, etc. that could keep the momentum in the stock alive.
Investors looking to make a profit from stocks that are currently on the move may find our &quot;Recent Price Strength&quot; screen pretty useful. This predefined screen comes handy in spotting stocks that are on an uptrend backed by strength in their fundamentals, and trading in the upper portion of their 52-week high-low range, which is usually an indicator of bullishness.
There are several stocks that passed through the screen and HNI (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hni#NYSE">HNI</a>) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a solid choice for &quot;trend&quot; investing.
A solid price increase over a period of 12 weeks reflects investors&#39; continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. HNI is quite a good fit in this regard, gaining 13.8% over this period.
However, it&#39;s not enough to look at the price change for around three months, as it doesn&#39;t reflect any trend reversal that might have happened in a shorter time frame. It&#39;s important for a potential winner to maintain the price trend. A price increase of 9.3% over the past four weeks ensures that the trend is still in place for the stock of this maker of office furniture and fireplaces.
Moreover, HNI is currently trading at 92.8% of its 52-week High-Low Range, hinting that it can be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the fundamentals, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises -- the key factors that impact a stock&#39;s near-term price movements.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Another factor that confirms the company&#39;s fundamental strength is its Average Broker Recommendation of #1 (Strong Buy). This indicates that the brokerage community is highly optimistic about the stock&#39;s near-term price performance.
So, the price trend in HNI may not reverse anytime soon.

Check Out 3 High-Yielding Dividend Stocks In Industrials Sector From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

With the increased personal consumption expenditure and favorable financial market, the consumer discretionary sector is flourishing. Hence, it could be ideal to buy high-growth consumer discretionary stocks Burlington Stores (BURL), HNI Corporation (HNI), and American Outdoor Brands (AOUT) for potential returns. Read more... Optimistic economic outlook, recent interest rate cuts, and increasing consumer confidence have strongly fueled consumer spending. Also, a buoyant job market has strengthened consumer spending power and disposable income scale, indicating further growth in consumption.
Therefore, it could be the right time to invest in solid consumer discretionary stocks Burlington Stores, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BURL/">BURL</a>), HNI Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/HNI/">HNI</a>), and American Outdoor Brands, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AOUT/">AOUT</a>), having high growth potential.
Amid signs of moderating inflation and optimistic economic growth, the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/18/fed-cuts-rates-september-2024-.html">Federal Open Market Committee lowered</a> its key overnight borrowing rate by a half percentage point or 50 basis points. The decision slashed the federal funds rate to a range between 4.75% - 5%. The rate benefits many consumer products such as mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.
This much-anticipated rate cut further strengthens consumer spending power and boosts the economy. During the second quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/consumer-spending.html#:~:text=In%202024%2C%20personal%20consumption%20expenditures,%241%20trillion%2C%20a%20record%20threshold.">personal consumption expenditures represented around 68%</a> of the U.S. GDP. Another indication of strong spending in the economy is the total U.S. credit card debt, which exceeded $1 trillion this year, setting a record high.
Further, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers</a> increased 0.2% on a seasonally adjusted basis in September, at same levels in August and July. On a year-over-year period, <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/outlook/economic-outlook/cpi-report-september-2024">CPI rose by 2.4%</a>, slightly higher than expected. This brings the levels closer to the Federal Reserve's target of 2%.
Besides, a solid job market, low unemployment, lower interest rates, and high business investments are supporting consumer spending. In 2024, <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/economy/us-economic-forecast/united-states-outlook-analysis.html">real consumer spending is expected to increase by 2.4%</a>, where spending on durable goods will rise by 1.6%, and spending on non-durable goods will be up by 1.7%.
Amid this, consumers are likely to lean and spend on segments like fashion &amp; luxury goods, home improvement and renovation, and recreation. Thus, considering the industry's optimistic outlook, investors could consider investing in fundamentally sound consumer discretionary stocks BURL, HNI, and AOUT.
