According to prior reports, Aecom was approached by a Canadian competitor regarding a potential transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CONFERENCE CANCELLATION:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Bloomberg reported earlier on Wednesday that Aecom has canceled from conferences being hosted by Barclays and Citi, Baird analyst Andrew Wittmann said it has been confirmed that Aecom canceled from the Citi conference and will not be in attendance at the Barclays event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior reports have noted that Aecom has been approached by Canadian competitor WSP regarding a transaction and Bloomberg\u2019s report is being seen as a positive indication that the company might be in later-stage negotiations for a deal, he contended. The analyst believes the reports on potential talks between both companies are credible, the odds of a transaction occurring are high and a $60-plus valuation seems likely should a deal consummate. Wittmann kept an Outperform rating and $57 price target on Aecom shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>POTENTIAL DEAL:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadian engineering services company WSP has approached rival Aecom over a potential deal, Bloomberg&#8217;s Ed Hammond&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-01-13\/wsp-is-said-to-approach-rival-engineering-firm-aecom-about-deal?sref=8QBk7toa\" target=\"_blank\">reported&nbsp;<\/a>last month, citing people familiar with the matter.
