OVERALL SCORE: 5.2/10

Context and risks

The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) makes financing long-term infrastructure projects more expensive, although Jacobs has moderate leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA 2.72). Exposure to government contracts in the US and Europe makes it sensitive to fiscal policy, but without a material direct regulatory or geopolitical risk.
