Jacobs JV Lands $1B San Francisco Wastewater Nutrient Reduction Project
J sits 40% above its 52-week low of $105.68.
Summary
Jacobs, through a joint venture with PCL Construction, was picked by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission as progressive design-build contractor on a $1B nutrient reduction project at the Southeast Treatment Plant. The plant is the city's largest wastewater facility, handling nearly 80% of San Francisco's wastewater, so the award is a sizable infrastructure win for the water business. It lands after a strong fiscal Q3 in which revenue rose 34.5% to $4.08 billion and the PA Consulting acquisition closed, and it follows September's data-center digital twin SaaS deal with an NVIDIA R&D facility. The contract value is meaningful against a roughly $17 billion market cap, though it is a multi-year design-build engagement rather than immediate revenue. No timeline for construction milestones or revenue recognition was disclosed.
