AECOM (NYSE:ACM) is one of the stocks on which Jim Cramer gave his opinions. A caller asked whether ACM is a buy and, if not, what a good alternative would be. In response, Cramer said:
Yeah, they didn’t have a good quarter, and it’s a good company, but they did not have a good quarter. And if you’re going to be in that group, you want to be in a company… PWR okay, that’s the symbol. It’s called Quanta Services… It’s same business, better run.

AECOM (NYSE:ACM) provides infrastructure consulting, design, and management services to public and private clients across the transportation, water, energy, and environmental sectors. Cramer discussed the stock in light of the AI data center boom during the episode aired on October 7, 2025. He stated:
So, who else benefits from the AI data center boom? Hey, how about an old favorite of the show, AECOM… which is another engineering construction firm that’s best known for its public sector work, particularly infrastructure construction, although it does plenty of commercial business, too. Lately, AECOM has been calling out the AI data center boom as a major tailwind for its business.
