Jacobs Solutions (US4698141098) stock held near $150 after the company reported $1.84 adjusted EPS for the quarter ended July 4, 2026, on $2.42 billion in revenue and then outlined FY 2026 EPS guidance of $7.20 to $7.30. The quarter beat consensus by $0.01 on EPS and $20 million on revenue, while revenue rose 8.3% from the same period last year.
Quarterly numbers
The latest quarter showed 2.40% net margin and 23.96% return on equity, which frames the earnings beat as more than a one-line surprise. Last year, the same quarter delivered $1.62 EPS, so the current figure marks a $0.22 increase year over year.
Analyst consensus now sits at $7.26 EPS for the current year, placing management's FY 2026 range almost directly on top of the market view. That makes the $7.20 to $7.30 guide a tight band rather than a wide reset.
Price context
Shares opened at $150.41 on August 28, 2026, with a 12-month range of $105.68 to $168.44 and a market capitalization of $17.76 billion. The stock also traded above its 50-day moving average of $135.41 and its 200-day moving average of $130.11.
Recent market snapshots put the dividend at $0.36 per share, or $1.44 annualized, for a yield of 1.0%. That adds a second valuation lens beside the earnings and guide.
Jacobs work mix
The company's core work still centers on engineering, consulting, and infrastructure delivery for public and private clients. That mix matters because the quarter's 8.3% revenue growth suggests project execution is still supporting the top line.
Stock view
Jacobs Solutions shares traded at $150.41 on August 28, 2026, after the latest quarter combined an EPS beat, an 8.3% revenue gain, and FY 2026 guidance of $7.20 to $7.30. The stock's 12-month high stands at $168.44, leaving the current quote below that peak but above both major moving averages.
