Elon Musk's leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency has led to significant job losses among federal workers and a review of contracts with major consulting firms. Deloitte is among the hardest hit, planning layoffs and facing a $51 million contract cancellation with the Department of Health and Human Services. Overall, the government is set to terminate contracts worth $65 billion with firms like Accenture and Booz Allen Hamilton, impacting their revenues substantially.
DOGE has terminated over 120 contracts with Deloitte, totaling more than $1.16 billion, claiming to save taxpayers approximately $371.8 million. This move, part of a broader effort to cut government spending, has significantly impacted consulting firms reliant on federal contracts, with analysts warning of potential revenue declines and job losses in the sector. The cuts follow a directive from the General Services Administration for consultancies to identify non-essential contracts, reflecting the administration's focus on fiscal responsibility.
Accenture has reported a significant decline in revenues due to Elon Musk's spending cuts within the US government, which have slowed new procurement actions. The consulting firm, which relies on government contracts for 8% of its $16.7 billion revenue, has seen its shares drop nearly 10%. Despite these challenges, Accenture's CEO remains optimistic about future opportunities to enhance government efficiency.
Aditya Bhasin, the Chief Technology Innovation Officer at Bank of America, has been with the bank since 2004, holding various leadership roles. He previously led initiatives in enhancing online and mobile banking, as well as services in financial centers. Bhasin holds master's degrees in Computer Engineering and Engineering Management from Dartmouth College and undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Computer Science from Hamilton College.
UBS has maintained its 'Buy' rating for Microsoft, setting a target price of $510, following a recent company visit. Analyst Karl Keirstead noted concerns over the slow growth of the Azure cloud platform, which may impact shares in the short term, but emphasized that long-term growth drivers remain strong.
Amazon is accelerating its digital transformation efforts in U.S. federal agencies through an expanded partnership with Booz Allen Hamilton, aiming to enhance technology outcomes and efficiency. The company continues to disrupt the healthcare sector with initiatives like Amazon Health and collaborations with GE HealthCare and Teledoc Health. Following a strong stock performance, Amazon is set to report significant earnings growth, with analysts forecasting a 78% increase in 2024.
OpenAI has partnered with defense startup Anduril to enhance US military air defense systems using AI technology. The collaboration aims to improve threat assessment and decision-making for military operators, reflecting a growing trend among tech companies to engage with the defense sector amid geopolitical tensions. OpenAI's CEO emphasized the commitment to responsible use of AI in military applications to protect personnel and uphold democratic values.
UBS analyst Gavin Parsons has initiated coverage of Booz Allen (BAH) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $159. While the firm acknowledges Booz Allen's consistent growth and expanding margins, it believes the current market has more headline risk than potential for re-rating, making it premature to broadly buy into the recent selloff.
