DEMANDING

51

out of 100

Aecom earns a fundamental-quality score of 51 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its growth (revenue +2.7%/yr). Its weakest area is its profitability (net margin 1.9%). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

AECOM is one of the world's largest infrastructure engineering firms: it designs roads, bridges, water systems and public transport for governments across half the planet. It sold off risky construction and kept the best part: charging fees for design and management without touching the concrete.

What will shape its future

  • Public infrastructure programs in the US and worldwide, its multi-year demand.
  • Its fee model: advisory and design without fixed-price construction risk.
  • Government budgets, its backlog's political variable.
