Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.
Different than value or momentum investors, growth-oriented investors are concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, they'll want to focus on the Growth Style Score, which analyzes characteristics like projected and historical earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
AECOM is a leading solutions provider for supporting professional, technical and management solutions for diverse industries across end markets like transportation, facilities, government as well as those in environmental, energy and water businesses.
ACM boasts a Growth Style Score of A and VGM Score of A, and holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating. Its bottom-line is projected to rise 12.8% year-over-year for 2025, while Wall Street anticipates its top line to improve by 5.6%.
One analyst revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0 to $5.10 per share for 2025. ACM boasts an average earnings surprise of 6.5%.
Looking at cash flow, Aecom Technology is expected to report cash flow growth of 14.4% this year; ACM has generated cash flow growth of 2.6% over the past three to five years.
With solid fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, ACM should be on investors' short lists.
