Did ACM Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

AECOM closed out fiscal 2025 with a mixed but broadly encouraging quarter, delivering Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.36 against a consensus estimate of $1.34, a 1.49% beat, even as revenue of $4.18 billion came in 3.23% below the $4.31 billion analysts had ex… Read more AECOM closed out fiscal 2025 with a mixed but broadly encouraging quarter, delivering Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.36 against a consensus estimate of $1.34, a 1.49% beat, even as revenue of $4.18 billion came in 3.23% below the $4.31 billion analysts had expected, rising just 1.6% year over year. The headline earnings strength was particularly notable given that a notably elevated Q4 adjusted tax rate of 29.0% weighed on results; management indicated that, absent the higher tax burden, quarterly adjusted EPS growth would have been 18%. The real story, however, was the margin and backlog momentum: full-year segment adjusted operating margins hit a record 16.5%, and total backlog climbed to an all-time high of $24.83 billion. AECOM also announced a review of its Construction Management business for a potential sale, pivoting toward higher-margin design and AI-driven advisory services, with analysts anticipating a sustained infrastructure construction cycle ahead. For fiscal 2026, the company guided adjusted EPS of $5.65 to $5.85, representing roughly 9% growth at the midpoint.

Key Takeaways
