Pelican Bay Capital Management Tyler Hardt, CFA | “AECOM is the world's largest engineering, design, and construction management firm. Over the past six years, the company has undergone a structural transformation, divesting its construction operations and exiting lower-return emerging markets to focus exclusively on design, engineering, and project management. This shift has significantly reduced capital requirements and expanded operating margins, while strengthening the balance sheet. Since exiting construction, EPS has grown at a 20% CAGR and operating margins have more than doubled. We believe AECOM warrants a valuation multiple closer to high-quality professional services peers and initiated a position following market confusion around discontinued operations guidance. BSD Analysis: AECOM enters 2026 with a strong buy consensus and a projected 36% upside, as analysts bet on its leadership in the global engineering and construction space. The company is expected to deliver nearly 28% EPS growth this year, supported by massive infrastructure backlogs and government-backed sustainability projects. While total revenue may see some technical adjustments, the focus remains on high-margin professional services and capital-light consulting roles. AECOM's earnings are forecast to grow significantly faster than the broader US market, reflecting its role in essential infrastructure modernization. Management's ability to win large-scale public contracts provides a level of earnings visibility that is rare in the construction sector. Investors view AECOM as a premier vehicle for playing the multi-year cycle of global infrastructure reinvestment.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 22, 2026 | View Pitch |
