AECOM (ACM) shares have fallen 4.8% recently and are down 54.2% over the past year, trading significantly below its GF Value™ estimate, indicating it is undervalued.

AECOM, Arup, and Campaign for Better Transport have been appointed by the Department for Transport to create a single national guidance resource for bus stop safety and accessibility in the UK. This initiative aims to standardize practices, improve user experience, and ensure all bus passengers can access services safely and independently. The guidance will address current fragmented standards and support local authorities and operators in planning and delivery.

AECOM is navigating a mix of new low-carbon infrastructure projects and ongoing project execution challenges, including its involvement in Montréal and Dublin's MetroLink, alongside a leadership transition. The company's investment narrative is centered on its pivot towards high-value consulting and decarbonization work offsetting past execution issues and margin pressure. While analysts forecast significant revenue and earnings growth by 2029, the operational risks of large, long-duration contracts and debt coverage remain key concerns.
