Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AECOM stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AECOM’s third-quarter fiscal 2017 adjusted earnings per share came in at 76 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate but down 3.7% from the year-ago figure of 81 cents. Year to date, AECOM’s shares have recorded a negative return, steeper than the industry’s average. Volatility in the oil and gas market, with declining prices and contracting spending levels, has been restraining the company’s projects and orders. Moreover, cyclical demand of the company’s services and currency fluctuations are likely to thwart growth, going forward. Also, the Budget Control Act is expected to delay few major projects, thus adding to the company’s woes. However, on the positive side, increase in the proportion of higher margin work is benefitting AECOM’s Construction Services segment and Revenue in Management Services segments. Also, the Shimmick buyout is expected to supplement core revenue growth." (8/11/2017)
• 2. Credit Suisse Group analysts commented, "We believe Randy will be a very capable COO with more than 30 years of experience in the Engineering and Construction industry and given his more recent role as President of Technical and Operational Services. Mr. Wotring joined AECOM from URS Corporation where he previously served as President of Federal Services. In conjunction, ACM announced Stephen Kadenacy is leaving his position as President and Chief Operating Officer. We believe the market will view this as a surprise given his tenure at ACM and recent promotion to President and Chief Operating Officer. We do not believe this reflects any operational issues at the firm. Instead, we believe Mr. Kadenacy left the firm to pursue an opportunity with even greater responsibility and career advancement in the near-term." (6/29/2017)
