公司概述
Jacobs Solutions Inc. operates as a comprehensive provider of consulting, planning, architecture, design, engineering, and infrastructure services across the United States, Europe, Canada, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and Africa. The company functions within the Industrials sector, specifically targeting the Engineering & Construction industry, which encompasses the development and maintenance of critical physical assets and complex systems. As of the latest reporting period, the entity maintains a market capitalization of $15.01B and generates an annual revenue of $12.39B, employing a workforce of 43000 individuals to execute its global projects. These financial scales, particularly the revenue figure exceeding twelve billion dollars and the market cap surpassing fifteen billion dollars, indicate that the company holds a substantial position within the global engineering services landscape, reflecting significant operational breadth and client trust.
财务健康
The company reported a total revenue of $12.39B and a net income of $459.42M for the trailing twelve months, with an EBITDA of $1.28B, illustrating a cost structure where operating expenses consume a significant portion of top-line growth. The reported free cash flow stands at $1.09B, which provides the management with substantial financial flexibility to fund ongoing operations, service debt obligations, or pursue strategic capital allocation initiatives without relying on external financing. The gross margin is calculated at 24.4%, suggesting that for every dollar of revenue, approximately 24 cents remain after direct costs, while the operating margin of 7.4% and profit margin of 3.5% reveal the efficiency of the broader operational and tax structures in converting revenue into bottom-line earnings. In terms of liquidity and leverage, the company holds $1.55B in cash against total debt of $2.96B, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 65.17, which characterizes a balance sheet that utilizes leverage but maintains a manageable debt burden relative to equity. Short-term liquidity is supported by a current ratio of 1.33, indicating that the company possesses sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities with a cushion of roughly 33%. Furthermore, the return on equity is 9.7% and the return on assets is 5.7%, metrics that collectively demonstrate management's effectiveness in generating profits from shareholders' investments and utilizing the company's asset base efficiently.
估值评估
The trailing twelve-month P/E ratio is 33.54, while the forward P/E is 15.84, implying that the market currently prices in a significant expected expansion in future earnings that is not yet reflected in the current fiscal performance. The price-to-book ratio stands at 4.34, indicating that the stock trades at a substantial premium over its book value, which often reflects the intangible value of the company's intellectual property, skilled workforce, and future growth potential rather than just tangible assets. Alternative valuation metrics such as the price-to-sales ratio of 1.21 and the EV/EBITDA of 13.63 suggest that the market values the company's revenue generation and earnings power at a level consistent with high-growth industrial peers. The 52-week high is recorded at $168.44 and the 52-week low at $107.32, placing the current trading price contextually within this historical range to assess relative strength or weakness against recent market volatility. The beta value is 0.75, which indicates that the stock's price volatility is approximately 25% lower than the broader market, suggesting a defensive characteristic relative to the overall market index during periods of fluctuation.
Growth & Income
Revenue growth for the trailing twelve months stands at 12.3% year over year, whereas earnings growth data is listed as N/A, meaning a direct comparison of the two rates is not currently available to determine the pace of profitability expansion relative to top-line growth. Regarding income distribution, the company offers a dividend yield of 1.1% with a payout ratio of 33.8%, a structure that suggests the dividend is paid from a relatively small portion of earnings, potentially allowing for sustainability even if earnings fluctuate, though the lack of explicit earnings growth data limits the depth of this sustainability analysis. The overall growth and income profile presents a company with robust revenue expansion and a modest, sustainable dividend yield that balances shareholder returns with capital retention needs.
