However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 0.17%, and in the past year, by 20.81%.

<h3>Evaluating AECOM P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 52.1 in the Construction &amp; Engineering industry, AECOM Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 30.32. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733940911_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Aecom (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACM#NYSE">ACM</a>) shares are trading up Friday, after gaining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACM">around 5% during the week</a>.
The company &#8220;high-graded its portfolio" by increasingly focusing on larger and more complex design projects, where it has the greatest competitive advantage, and is moving further towards program management and advisory, according to Goldman Sachs.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/650419668345120001a2ee65/adam-bubes">Analyst Adam Bubes</a> initiated coverage of Aecom with a Buy rating and price target of $130.
The Aecom Thesis: Engineering News-Record's market data shows that the company has industry-leading design market share in its largest end markets, Bubes said in the initiation note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Bubes noted that Aecom secured the second-highest position in program management, increasing its market share from 6.6% of the top 50 program managers since 2021 to around 11% today.
"We forecast a 6% total company organic growth CAGR through 2027 driven by AECOM's accelerating win rates, double-digit program management and advisory growth, and solid underlying end market trends," the analyst wrote.
Since 2020, Aecom has "divested its self-perform at-risk construction businesses, exited low return countries, and shifted resources to larger and more complex projects," Bubes said. The company's high-graded portfolio is now "driving higher returns at lower risk," he added.
ACM Price Action: Shares of Aecom were up 2.62% at $115.51 at the time of publication on Friday.

This is a 25.74 percent increase over earnings of $1.01 per share from the same period last year.

Earnings Misses

AECOM Q4 Adj $1.27 Beats $1.24 Estimate, Sales $4.11B Miss $4.14B Estimate

U.S. stocks could get off to a tentative start on Monday after investors switched to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42017118/stocks-tumble-as-traders-rethink-feds-action-vix-spikes-17-nasdaq-erases-back-post-trump-gains-whats-driving-markets-friday">risk-on mode last week</a> as the post-election rally lost some of its steam.
Economic data and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's comments about the future of rate cuts put the sentiment on a dampener. Powell said the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is not in a hurry after economic data showed strength.
Expectations of a further 25 basis point rate cut in December have fallen to just 62% now, down from 72% last week, according <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> CME Group's FedWatch tool.

Cues From Last Week:
All three major indices registered a decline last week, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq seeing a bigger fall. This was the week prior, Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 registered their best week of the year after the election of Trump as the 47th U.S. president.
On the economic data front, U.S. export prices increased by 0.8% in October, while import prices rose by 0.3% month-over-month in October. U.S. retail sales rose 0.4% month-over-month in October compared to a revised 0.8% increase in September, topping market estimates of 0.3%
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with information technology, communication services, and healthcare stocks recording the biggest losses on Friday.
However, utilities and financials stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.

Insights From Analysts:
Wells Fargo's Jay Bryson thinks the recent surge in inflation could needle the Fed to reevaluate its pace of rate cuts.
"Slower progress on inflation in recent months may prompt the Fed to reevaluate its pace of easing moving forward," he said.
On the other hand, investors will keep a close eye on earnings from AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investors will be interested in President-elect Donald Trump's policy outlook on regulations for autonomous driving.
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, maintained his bullish outlook on equities.
"The S&amp;P 500 is looking at back-to-back 20% gains. The four previous times it did this (since WWII) the next year did this: 2.6%, 31%, 26.7%, 19.5%."
He underscored that while it's not unwise to be cautious about the ongoing rally, investors should not base their concerns on the upward movement so far.

The four previous times it did this (since WWII) the next year did this: +2.6% +31.0% +26.7% +19.5% Sure, there are reasons to be cautious, but stocks up a lot two years in a row shouldn&#39;t be one of them.

Nathan Peterson, Director of Derivatives Analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, laid<a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/weekly-traders-outlook/"> out</a> the thesis for market movements for the next week.
"I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see an attempt to rally from these levels at the beginning of the week if we can bounce from today&#8217;s lows into the close," Peterson said.
"Further rotation out of the largest market cap sector, Information Technology, or a negative response to Nvidia&#8217;s guidance, leading to a further downdraft in overall price action."
Peterson continues to maintain a cautious stance and noted that investors will wait for Nvidia earnings with bated breath.
