AECOM's Q3 weakness was driven primarily by a $337 million charge on a legacy Construction Management project awarded in 2019, rather than deterioration in the core Design business. Excluding the charge, FY26 guidance calls for $5.90-$6.10 of adjusted EPS, $1.275-$1.305 billion of adjusted EBITDA and a 17.4% adjusted EBITDA margin. The underlying business remains healthy, supported by record backlog, continued Design NSR growth and management's target for 15%+ adjusted EPS CAGR through FY29.
AECOM is rated Buy, with attractive risk-reward as legacy construction management project headwinds are set to ease after 1H FY27. Core Design business demonstrates robust growth, supported by record $27.8 billion backlog, strong market demand, and expanded wallet share from existing clients. Margin expansion is driven by operational efficiencies, AI-enabled productivity, and a streamlined business model, with a 20%+ margin target by FY28.

A surprise pre-tax loss sinks this infrastructure company.

Q2 revenue rose 36% to $292.9M, with advanced packaging and ECP technologies driving expansion and reducing reliance on single customers. Gross margin remains within target at 46%, yet inventory buildup and negative operating cash flow highlight ongoing execution challenges.
