While this represented an 8.3% decline year-over-year, it exceeded consensus estimates by 3.1%. Revenue grew 4.4% from the prior year to $2.9 billion, surpassing Wall Street expectations. A key positive was the company\u2019s adjusted operating margin, which expanded by 210 basis points, driving a strong 24.9% year-over-year increase in adjusted operating profit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite these solid results, Jacobs' stock\u00a0fell 3.5% on the day of the announcement. Lower bottom-line figure due to an unfavorable tax comparison and\u00a0softness in its advanced manufacturing sector might have dampened investor confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the current fiscal year, ending in September 2025, analysts expect Jacobs\u2019 EPS to grow 14.6% year-over-year to $6.05. The company\u2019s earnings surprise history is promising. It topped the Wall Street estimates in each of the last four quarters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Among the 15 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a \u201cModerate Buy,\u201d which is based on seven \u201cStrong Buys,\u201d two \u201cModerate Buys,\u201d and six \u201cHold\u201d ratings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"ads__inline\">\n<div id=\"js-dfp-tag-9qM\"  class=\"btf-bodymidpagetwothirdswidth-2\">          <script type=\"text\/javascript\">         googletag.cmd.push(function() {             \/\/ Check if ID matches ID in the window.adsList array before calling googletag.display             function isAdInAdsList(id) {             for (var i = 0; i < window.adsList.length; i++) {                 if (window.adsList[i].id === id) {                     return true;                 }             }             return false;         }         if (isAdInAdsList('js-dfp-tag-9qM')) {             googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-9qM');         }         });     <\/script> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\">  <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:940\/838;\" src=\"https:\/\/barchart-news-media-prod.aws.barchart.com\/SANDP\/e45587a0e5ddc049289668af5d830a9c\/hlduw9ls5vynfate.png\" width=\"940\" height=\"838\"><figcaption>   www.barchart.com  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0cm;\">On Jan. 29, Citi maintained a \u201cBuy\u201d rating on Jacobs but lowered its price target to $160, which indicates a 24% potential upside from the current levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"taboola-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>                 <script type=\"text\/javascript\">                     !function (e, f, u) {                     e.async = 1;                     e.src = u; f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);                     }(document.createElement('script'), document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0], '\/\/cdn.taboola.com\/libtrc\/nasdaq-nasdaq\/loader.js');                     window._taboola = window._taboola || [];                     _taboola.push({                       mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid',                       container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails',                       placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails',                       target_type: 'mix'                     });                     _taboola.push({article:'auto', url:''});                 <\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0cm;\">As of writing, J is trading below the mean price target of $154.25.
