估值最高15亿美元：埃森哲考虑出售大中华区业务，已请摩根大通做战略评估
据英国《金融时报》10月18日报道，全球咨询巨头埃森哲（Accenture，纽交所代码：ACN）已聘请摩根大通（JPMorgan）对其大中华区业务进行战略评估，正在考虑出售这部分业务，估值最高可达15亿美元。报道援引知情人士称，过去一年间已有买家主动向埃森哲表达收购意向，促使公司启动评估；潜在买家预计包括私募股权机构和少数战略投资者。报道同时强调，这只是一次评估：埃森哲可能在出售后保留相当比例的少数股权，整个评估也可能最终不达成任何交易。
路透社10月18日转发了这一报道，并表示无法立即独立核实。埃森哲未回应媒体在非工作时间发出的置评请求，摩根大通拒绝置评。截至目前，埃森哲没有就大中华区业务发布任何官方声明，相关说法均出自《金融时报》援引的知情人士消息，尚处「考虑」阶段，不是已经作出的决定。
此次评估的大中华区业务，涵盖中国内地、香港和台湾，与埃森哲官网的大中华区划分一致。据咨询业媒体估算，这部分业务约有1.7万名员工。15亿美元的估值放在埃森哲的整体盘子里并不大：公司市值约1380亿美元（StockAnalysis 数据），这笔交易约相当于其市值的1%。埃森哲总部位于爱尔兰都柏林，2026财年（截至2026年8月31日）全球营收约740亿美元、员工约81.4万，亚太市场营收约106.8亿美元，大中华区包含在亚太口径内，公司没有单独披露大中华区的营收数字。
埃森哲在大中华区已深耕三十多年。其前身安达信咨询（Andersen Consulting）1989年先在香港和台北设立机构，1993年在上海设立中国内地分公司，1994年进入北京，2002年在大连和上海设立交付中心，2004年广州分公司开业。如今，埃森哲在大中华区的网点包括北京、上海、大连、成都、广州、深圳、香港和台北，客户覆盖国有企业、民营企业和跨国公司。埃森哲的官方介绍材料多年来一直使用「在大中华区运营三十多年」的说法。
为何在此时评估出售，报道给出的背景有两条。一是经营环境：中国收紧的数据安全规定和跨境数据流动限制，抬高了外国咨询公司在华运营的合规成本；麦肯锡等同行此前已经收缩在华业务规模。二是埃森哲自身的业务组合调整：公司首席财务官 Angie Park 在10月14日的投资者活动上表示，埃森哲有一贯退出「不再符合战略或回报门槛的业务、产品线、国家和合同」的记录，不过这番表态没有点名中国。《金融时报》称，若出售完成，所得款项可用于支持公司2027财年至少95亿美元的股东回报计划。
消息传出后的第一个交易日（10月19日周一），埃森哲股价午盘上涨约1.4%，投资者反应平淡。接下来市场关注的，是买家是否真正出现、最终估值定在多少、以及埃森哲会保留多大比例的股权。
Up to $1.5 Billion: Accenture Reportedly Weighs Sale of Greater China Business After Three Decades in the Market
Accenture (NYSE: ACN), the global consulting giant, has hired JPMorgan to conduct a strategic review of its Greater China business and is considering a sale of the unit, which could be valued at up to $1.5 billion, the Financial Times reported on October 18. Citing people familiar with the matter, the FT said unsolicited interest from potential buyers over the past year prompted the review, and that expected bidders include private equity firms and a small number of strategic buyers. The report stressed that this is a review, not a decision: Accenture may retain a significant minority stake after any sale, and the review may not result in a transaction at all.
Reuters carried the FT report on October 18 and said it could not immediately verify it. Accenture did not respond to requests for comment sent outside ordinary business hours, and JPMorgan declined to comment. Accenture has issued no official statement on the Greater China business, and the reported plan remains at the "considering" stage, not a decision already made.
The unit under review covers mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, matching Accenture's own definition of Greater China on its website. Consulting-industry media estimate the unit employs around 17,000 people. At up to $1.5 billion, the unit would equal roughly 1% of Accenture's market value of about $138 billion (StockAnalysis data). Accenture, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, reported global revenue of about $74 billion and roughly 814,000 employees in fiscal 2026 (ended August 31, 2026); its Asia-Pacific revenue was about $10.68 billion, which includes Greater China, and the company does not break out Greater China figures separately.
Accenture has operated in Greater China for more than three decades. Its predecessor, Andersen Consulting, set up in Hong Kong and Taipei in 1989, opened its mainland China branch in Shanghai in 1993 and in Beijing in 1994, established delivery centers in Dalian and Shanghai in 2002, and opened in Guangzhou in 2004. Its Greater China offices today include Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Taipei, serving state-owned enterprises, private companies and multinationals. Accenture's own materials have long described the company as "operating in Greater China for more than 30 years."
Two threads of context run through the reporting. The first is the operating environment: tighter data-security rules and restrictions on cross-border data flows in China have raised compliance costs for foreign consulting firms, and peers such as McKinsey have already scaled back their presence in China. The second is Accenture's own portfolio discipline: at an investor event on October 14, Chief Financial Officer Angie Park said the company has a record of exiting "businesses, offerings, countries, contracts that no longer meet our strategic or return thresholds" — remarks that did not name China. The FT said proceeds from a sale could help fund Accenture's plan to return at least $9.5 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2027.
On the first trading day after the report (Monday, October 19), Accenture shares rose about 1.4% by midday, a muted investor reaction. What markets will watch next is whether a buyer actually emerges, where the final valuation lands, and how large a stake Accenture keeps.
