Adjusted earnings rose 13.60 percent
The latest reported quarter gives the target change a stronger operating backdrop. Jacobs posted adjusted earnings of USD 1.84 per share for the fiscal third quarter of 2026, up 13.60 percent from USD 1.62 in the year-earlier quarter, according to Zacks on September 3, 2026.
Gross revenue reached USD 4.08 billion in that quarter, 34.50 percent higher than a year earlier. Adjusted net revenue, which excludes low-margin pass-through revenue, rose 8.30 percent to USD 2.42 billion. The same report put adjusted operating profit at USD 341.8 million, up 10.80 percent year over year, with the margin at 14.10 percent.
What does the target imply?
KeyCorp's USD 166.00 target is 20.05 percent above the NYSE price of USD 138.27 at 12:59 p.m. ET on October 20, 2026. The calculation uses the same US dollar basis for both figures, while the euro quotation remains the price relevant to investors trading in Germany. The target is lower than KeyCorp's earlier USD 168.00 level, so the latest analyst action combines a positive rating with a reduced valuation mark.
