The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The Company explains that it can enhance the growth potential and profitability of its business by expanding customer touchpoints and operating regions through the Accenture Group's customer base and sales network, leveraging its AI-related technologies, expertise and network, and strengthening its human resources base. It also states that taking the Company private would allow it to deploy management resources flexibly toward measures to enhance corporate value over the medium to long term, without the constraints associated with maintaining a stock exchange listing.
