After Two Detrimental Earnings Events, Could AECOM Be Third Time Lucky?

Recent earnings events have driven Aecom's stock down 38% in six months, but Q2 2026 offers the potential for a shift. ACM's accelerating AI adoption, robust data center servicing growth, and strategic buyback authorization ($1.34B authorization equating to 13% of market cap) position it for operating leverage and shareholder returns. At 10x forward EBITDA, Aecom is now one of the cheapest infrastructure consulting stocks around, with the market sleeping over its operating leverage capabilities.
