Accenture PLC (NYSE:ACN) and Five Below Inc (NASDAQ:FIVE) stocks are making significant moves following their latest earnings reports.

Accenture stock was last seen down 9.5% at $293.72, hitting its lowest level since July after reporting a slight fiscal second-quarter earnings miss alongside a revenue beat. The consulting firm also raised the lower end of its full-year earnings forecast, but a 3% year-over-year decline in new bookings to $20.9 billion weighed on investor sentiment. Year-to-date, ACN has shed 15.9%.

Meanwhile, Five Below stock is up 5.7% at $79.88 after delivering a fourth-quarter earnings beat. The discount retailer also posted a smaller-than-expected 3% decline in same-store sales, compared to analyst projections of a 3.3% drop. Additionally, Five Below issued strong fiscal first-quarter revenue guidance of $905 million to $925 million, exceeding the FactSet consensus estimate of $897 million. On the charts, FIVE remains pressured at the $80 level while carrying a 24.1% year-to-date deficit.

Options traders are reacting to both earnings events. ACN has seen 7,129 calls and 9,009 puts exchanged — 10 times its intraday average volume — while FIVE has already logged 11,000 calls and 9,698 puts, 16 times its usual activity.
