AECOM stock falls 4.77 percent after quarterly loss

AECOM stock traded at USD 58.52 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, down 4.77 percent on the session. The decline followed a fiscal third-quarter earnings shortfall that exposed the cost of a troubled construction management project.

Quarterly loss changes the picture

AECOM reported adjusted EPS of negative USD 0.50 for fiscal Q3 2026, compared with a consensus estimate of USD 1.46, according to MarketBeat on September 24, 2026. The USD 1.96 gap between adjusted EPS and consensus was the clearest numerical weakness in the report.

Revenue reached USD 3.59 billion in fiscal Q3 2026, but declined 14.2 percent from the prior-year quarter, while the operating result swung to a USD 76 million loss from USD 294.1 million of operating income, Yahoo Finance reported. Revenue therefore exceeded the USD 2.01 billion estimate cited by MarketBeat, but the earnings quality was overwhelmed by the project charge.

Guidance remains a key test

AECOM maintained fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of USD 3.95 to USD 4.15, according to MarketBeat. That range places greater importance on execution in the remaining fiscal year because the latest quarter produced a loss instead of the expected profit.

The company reported fiscal 2025 revenue of USD 16.1 billion on its investor overview. Its operating model spans infrastructure consulting, engineering, design and construction management across transportation, water, energy and buildings, creating a broad base but also leaving project execution central to margins.

Stock tests its yearly low

AECOM stock stood at USD 58.52 on September 24, 2026, against a 52-week range of USD 58.43 to USD 135.52 and a market capitalization of USD 7.52 billion. The price was USD 0.09 above the yearly low, so the market reaction has pushed the shares to the lower edge of their annual range.
