Besides the domestic market, favorable trends in the international markets, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and the Middle East, are likely to have aided the incremental performance.The growing opportunities across key market segments, including AI (with data centers taking the major share), water, transportation, aviation, coastal protection and electricity are boding well. These favorable market trends are expected to have been mirrored through a growing project pipeline, resulting in robust backlog growth.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth quarter’s net service revenues for the Americas and International segments is pegged at $1.15 billion and $799 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 8.5% and 6%, respectively.Moreover, the company’s restructuring efforts and balanced capital allocation strategy are expected to have further supported operational efficiency and profitability structure in the quarter to be reported, besides external factors. The bottom line of ACM is expected to have increased year over year, backed by improved top-line leverage and minimal restructuring costs.Although geopolitical risks, tariff-related concerns and foreign currency challenges are concerning, AECOM’s approach toward continuous innovation, effective capital management and project activities across a diversified portfolio is expected to boost growth in the upcoming terms.What the Zacks Model Unveils About AECOMOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for AECOM this time around.
