Aecom stock set for 35% rise despite Q2 loss and securities fraud probe.

Aecom faces a securities fraud investigation after reporting a significant Q2 loss due to a $337 million pre-tax charge from project delays. Despite this, UBS sets a positive price target of $85, implying a 35% stock increase from current levels. The company’s stock recently hit a 52-week low amid these challenges, but the potential upside reflects investor confidence in its recovery prospects. Completion of the delayed project is now expected by Q2 fiscal 2027, later than initially planned.
