Analyst Note

| Krzysztof Smalec, CFA | Nov 24, 2021

Jacobs Engineering ended its fiscal 2021 on a solid note, as its fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $1.58 came in line with our expectations. Management initiated guidance for full-year fiscal 2022 and expects adjusted EBITDA of $1,370 million to $1,450 million and adjusted EPS of $6.85 to $7.45 (compared with our prior estimate of $6.87). After rolling our model forward one year, we’ve raised our fair value estimate for Jacobs to $152 from $141, which reflects our more optimistic revenue growth projections as well as time value of money.

Our Outlook for the Business-Services Sector

This sector is home to several undervalued gems.

Transparency is our policy. Learn how it impacts everything we do.

Transparency is how we protect the integrity of our work and keep empowering investors to achieve their goals and dreams. And we have unwavering standards for how we keep that integrity intact, from our research and data to our policies on content and your personal data.

We’d like to share more about how we work and what drives our day-to-day business.

How we make money

We sell different types of products and services to both investment professionals and individual investors. These products and services are usually sold through license agreements or subscriptions. Our investment management business generates asset-based fees, which are calculated as a percentage of assets under management. We also sell both admissions and sponsorship packages for our investment conferences and advertising on our websites and newsletters.

How we use your personal data

Verify your identity, personalize the content you receive, or create and administer your account.
Provide specific products and services to you, such as portfolio management or data aggregation.
Develop and improve features of our offerings.
Gear advertisements and other marketing efforts towards your interests.

How we approach editorial content

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
