+0.10% on the day

The 13 Wall Street analysts covering AECOM hold a median 12-month price target of $88 — +46.7% from the last close. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model, run across ~4,600 US stocks, ranks it 36 of 100 as at 3 Oct 2026 — in the lower half. The Street sees upside; the factor read is a caution. That gap is the story on this page.

News

Latest ACM news & analysis

AECOM: The Design Franchise Is Intact Despite The Legacy Contract Charge

Seeking Alpha · 30 Sept 2026positive

AECOM's Q3 weakness stemmed from a $337 million charge on a legacy 2019 Construction Management project rather than deterioration in its core Design business, which remains healthy with record backlog and continued Design NSR growth. Excluding the charge, FY26 guidance calls for adjusted EPS of $5.90-$6.10, adjusted EBITDA of $1.275-$1.305 billion, and a 17.4% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Why it matters — For AECOM watchers, the report indicates the company's Design franchise remains intact and that the quarterly miss was an isolated legacy contract charge, not a sign of underlying business weakness.

Can AECOM Sustain 5%-8% Organic Growth as Backlog Hits a Record?

Zacks Investment Research · 29 Sept 2026positive

Zacks reports that AECOM's record $27.8 billion backlog and strong project wins support its stated 5%-8% organic growth target, though execution delays remain a near-term obstacle to achieving that growth.

Why it matters — The record backlog signals sustained demand and underpins confidence in AECOM's growth outlook, while execution delays highlight a risk to monitor for investors tracking forward momentum.

AECOM: Legacy Headwinds Fading Coupled With Strong Core Growth Could Provide Good Upside In 2027

Seeking Alpha · 28 Sept 2026positive

Seeking Alpha rates AECOM a Buy, noting that legacy construction management project headwinds are expected to ease after the first half of fiscal 2027. The company's core Design business shows strong growth, supported by a record $27.8 billion backlog and margin expansion driven by operational efficiencies and AI-enabled productivity, with a 20%+ margin target by fiscal 2028.

Why it matters — ACM watchers would care because the report highlights easing legacy headwinds and robust core design growth that could support upside into 2027.

Tutor Perini vs. AECOM: Which Construction Stock is the Better Buy?

Zacks Investment Research · 28 Sept 2026negative

Zacks Investment Research compares Tutor Perini and AECOM as construction stock options, contrasting Tutor Perini's $19.9B backlog and improving margins with AECOM's project challenges, cash-flow pressure, and lower guidance.

Why it matters — AECOM watchers would care because the piece highlights recent headwinds facing the company, including project difficulties, cash-flow strain, and reduced guidance relative to a competitor.

AECOM Stock Falls 30% in the Past Six Months: Is a Rebound Ahead?

Zacks Investment Research · 22 Sept 2026negative

AECOM's stock fell 30.1% over the past six months, reflecting project setbacks and cash-flow pressure. The article notes that a record backlog and infrastructure demand support its longer-term prospects.

Why it matters — AECOM watchers would care because the stock's recent decline and operational pressures are weighed against strong demand and backlog signals that could influence its outlook.
