After Two Detrimental Earnings Events, Could AECOM Be Third Time Lucky?
AECOM's stock has fallen 38% over six months following two disappointing earnings reports, but the company may be poised for a rebound in Q2 2026. Strong AI adoption, growing data center demand, a $1.34 billion share buyback, and a 20% compound annual dividend growth rate make it an attractive value. Trading at 10x forward EBITDA, AECOM appears undervalued relative to peers, with technical indicators suggesting potential upside.
