What are Wall Street analysts saying about Aecom stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Aecom stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AECOM reported better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results, wherein earnings grew 12% on 9% revenue growth. Organic revenues grew 9%, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of growth owing to higher-margin Americas design and MS business. Notably, backlog grew 14%. It has been witnessing robust prospects across most of the business segments, adding to its growth momentum. Meanwhile, it laid out plans to exit more than 30 countries under a restructuring initiative, with a large portion of expenses under the current program to be incurred in the first half of 2019. However, its lower-than-expected fiscal 2019 EPS outlook is a cause of concern. Fourth-quarter EBITDA fell short of the company’s expectations due to the timing of AECOM Capital sales and challenges related to certain CS projects. Its shares have declined 5.9% in the past six months. Estimates have remained stable over the past 30 days, limiting the stock’s upside potential." (11/14/2018)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We nevertheless expect healthy valuation (forward EV/ EBITDA) versus historical averages and peers to constrain upside for the shares at current levels. Our rating remains HOLD and our price target is maintained at $40." (5/9/2018)
