AECOM's third quarter fiscal 2025 earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.2% while the net service revenue missed the same by 0.6%. Year over year, the earnings and total revenues grew on the back of robust public infrastructure demand trends in the domestic and international markets. Increased government initiatives in the UK and Canada, alongside opportunity alignments in the Middle East, are backing up AECOM's revenue visibility. As of the third quarter, the total backlog was up 5% year over year to $24.59 billion, with contracted backlog growth of 54.7%. These robust trends are expected to continue favoring the company's upcoming growth and profitability. Shares of AECOM have outperformed the industry in the past year. However, ongoing macro risks, high costs and currency fluctuations are headwinds to its prospects.

The stock has jumped 6.93% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 2 higher, for fiscal 2025; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
