- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AECOM has been witnessing robust prospects across most of its business segments. Also, favorable infrastructure spending trend in the United States is supplementing core revenue growth. Going forward, the company remains optimistic that favorable political climate will continue to unlock growth opportunities of the infrastructure and defense markets. Additionally, an increase in the proportion of higher margin work is benefiting AECOM’s segments. However, AECOM’s shares have underperformed its industry in the past year. Earnings estimates have remained stable over the past 60 days for fiscal 2018, limiting the upside potential for the stock. Dependence on global, political and economic conditions remain a major concern for the company." (10/10/2018)
