Gekko Brief
AI summaryJacobs this week picked up new contract wins, including selection by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District for its next wastewater operator role, a decision that comes alongside a continuing lawsuit from current operator Veolia North America. The company also secured a project support contract for Germany's Konrad Repository, converting a former mine into the country's first repository for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste, and has an extended role in thyssenkrupp Steel's direct reduction plant along with an expanded role in National Grid's Asset Health Intervention Programme. Coverage also pointed to demand tied to AI data centers supporting a project backlog cited at $28.9 billion.
The stock closed at $138.37, sitting between its 50-day average of $142.66 and 200-day average of $133.08, with a one-month return of -8.1% against a three-month gain of 11.8%. The GekkoIndex reads 65, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, while price sits 6.2% above the Gekko Fair Value of $130.31.
The next earnings date falls on 19 November, outside the coming 20-trading-day window, following a prior quarter where adjusted EPS of $1.84 matched estimates and produced a 4.3% reaction. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the recent windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 3.5% return over five years, rising in three of them, a pattern worth noting alongside the current gap to fair value.

- What they said
- Jacobs reported a strong Q3 FY2026 with broad-based organic growth, margin expansion and record backlog. Adjusted EPS grew ~14% to $1.84 supported by >8% adjusted net revenue growth (all organic) and >100 bps of year-on-year margin expansion. Infrastructure & Advanced Facilities (I&AF) had a record quarter with nearly $2.1B net revenue (up 10% YoY). Consolidated backlog rose 27% to $29B with a trailing 12-month book-to-bill of 1.4x (gross) and 1.2x (net). Management highlighted strong awards across life sciences, advanced manufacturing, environmental and transportation, and noted continued momentum in data centers, semiconductors and AI-related work. Management raised the midpoint of FY'26 adjusted EPS guidance for the third consecutive time and provided Q4 targets (14% reported net revenue growth including an extra week; normalized ~8%) and Q4 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance of ~16%. Management emphasized operating leverage, disciplined SG&A growth, global delivery benefits and integration synergies with PA Consulting as drivers of margin expansion and cash generation. During Q&A, management was confident and reiterated selective approach to speculative data center work, noted temporary softness in portions of the Middle East, and discussed visibility into FY'27 while deferring specific long-term algorithm details to future calls.
- Guidance
- Q4 FY'26: Net revenue growth guidance of ~14% (includes an extra week; normalized ~8%) and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance of ~16%. Management raised the midpoint of full-year FY'26 adjusted EPS for the third consecutive time. They expect continued strong bookings in Q4 and improved visibility into FY'27 growth but deferred specific FY'27 algorithm and quantified targets to the next call. Free cash flow to be reported without adjustments in Q4.
- Risks flagged
- Temporary pause/softness in parts of the Middle East; some backlog/bookings lumpiness in gross revenue due to large program wins; speculative/uncertain nature of some data center projects requiring selectivity; GAAP vs non-GAAP EPS/tax treatment variances related to PA acquisition and its compensation adjustments; dependency on continued funding flows (e.g., IIJA timing); integration risk and realization of revenue/cost synergies from the PA Consulting acquisition.
