Credit Suisse, Citi Cut Jacobs Engineering's Price Target Post Q1 Results

  • Credit Suisse analyst Jamie Cook lowered the price target on Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE:J) to $161 (an upside of 25.6%) from $175 and maintained an Outperform rating on the shares.
  • The analyst notes that Jacobs stock closed down 3% after reporting a largely in-line quarter while maintaining the full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA and EPS guidance.
  • Looking ahead, the second quarter is expected to improve modestly from Q1 on a sales and EPS basis with a more back half-loaded year for revenue and EPS, Cook contends.
