In September 2024, Jacobs Solutions completed the spinoff of its critical mission solutions and cyber and intelligence businesses. On Sept. 27, these businesses were spun off and merged with Amentum to form a new publicly traded company. Jacobs shareholders received one share of Amentum Holdings (trading on the NYSE under the ticker “AMTM”) for each share of Jacobs held on Sept. 23.
Management has shifted Jacobs' portfolio toward sectors with favorable long-term prospects, including transportation and water.
Jacobs’ mergers and acquisitions track record is mixed, as its serial acquisitions (over 80 deals since 1994) have been a drag on the firm’s returns on invested capital.
