AECOM Gears Up to Report Q4 Earnings: Key Factors to Note

In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.2% and grew 15.5% year over year. Revenues marginally missed the consensus mark by 0.6% but grew 6.1% year over year.

AECOM’s earnings topped the consensus mark in each of the last four quarters, the average surprise being 9.8%.

ACM’s Trend in Estimate Revision

For the fiscal fourth quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) has remained unchanged at $1.34 over the past 60 days. However, the estimated figure indicates a 5.5% increase from the year-ago quarter’s adjusted EPS of $1.27 per share.

The estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.95 billion, reflecting year-over-year growth of 7.4%.

Factors Likely to Influence AECOM’s Q4 Results

AECOM’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance is expected to reflect year-over-year growth, driven by ongoing benefits from the robust public infrastructure spending trends backed by several federal and state initiatives, including the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act in the United States. Besides the domestic market, favorable trends in the international markets, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and the Middle East, are likely to have aided the incremental performance.

The growing opportunities across key market segments, including AI (with data centers taking the major share), water, transportation, aviation, coastal protection and electricity are boding well. These favorable market trends are expected to have been mirrored through a growing project pipeline, resulting in robust backlog growth.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth quarter’s net service revenues for the Americas and International segments is pegged at $1.15 billion and $799 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 8.5% and 6%, respectively.

Moreover, the company’s restructuring efforts and balanced capital allocation strategy are expected to have further supported operational efficiency and profitability structure in the quarter to be reported, besides external factors. The bottom line of ACM is expected to have increased year over year, backed by improved top-line leverage and minimal restructuring costs.

Although geopolitical risks, tariff-related concerns and foreign currency challenges are concerning, AECOM’s approach toward continuous innovation, effective capital management and project activities across a diversified portfolio is expected to boost growth in the upcoming terms.
