Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Jacobs Engineering Group stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the last three months, Jacobs’ shares have outperformed the industry. The company is poised to grow on the back of robust acquisitions and strategic restructuring moves. For instance, the company recently inked a $2.85-billion deal to acquire CH2M, in a bid to become a $15-billion global solutions provider, moving ahead. Moreover, we perceive that increased infrastructure spending in the United States and strong demand for major emerging economies like China would likely prove beneficial to the company going forward. The company is also poised to grow on the back of lucrative business contracts and is well focused in maximizing shareholders’ value." (10/17/2017)
- 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "JEC reported F1Q17 EPS of $0.68, ahead of our $0.55 estimate and consensus of $0.63. Mgmt. maintained its F2017 EPS guide of $3.00-3.30, with additional bookings (higher margin) required to hit the upper end. While revenues remained down YoY and backlogs stepped back QoQ, JEC's mix continues to improve as it transitions toward profitable growth. Maintain Hold." (2/9/2017)

Consensus Ratings for Jacobs Engineering Group (NYSE:JEC) (How are Consensus Ratings Calculated?) MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.
MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
