CEO Bob Pragada said the company’s growing pipeline and record backlog position it for continued growth in fiscal 2027. Dallas-based Jacobs’ data center backlog has roughly doubled while its opportunity pipeline has tripled, Pragada said during the analyst question-and-answer session. Sector performanceLife sciences and advanced manufacturing net revenue climbed 24% year over year, its fastest increase since Jacobs began reporting results by end market in late 2024, CFO Venk Nathamuni said. Critical infrastructure net revenue increased 9%, led by transportation and energy and power work. Pragada said the business can sustain double-digit growth because Jacobs serves the broader data center ecosystem, including chip manufacturing and the water and power infrastructure those facilities require.
