Robert V Pragada, Chair & CEO, purchased 3,601 shares at $111.09 on 2026-05-15, increasing his holdings to 333,755 shares (+1.1% from pre-transaction holdings). The stock is currently trading at $114.19, down 32.2% from its 52-week high of $168.44 and down 11.4% over the past 30 days. The company reported a net loss of $45,883,000 in the latest quarter despite generating $3,694,881,000 in quarterly revenue with annual growth of 4.6%, and trades at a P/E of 35.35 on a $13.5B market cap. The purchase occurs during a period of material price weakness and negative earnings, with the acquired shares representing a modest increment (1.1%) to substantial existing holdings (333.8K shares).

Director Fernandez bought 253 shares at $112.56 (now -33.1% from 52-week high); prior 4 of 5 J trades well-timed at 90d.

Fernandez Manuel J, a Director, purchased 253 shares of Jacobs Solutions at $112.56 on 2026-05-13, extending his holdings to 12,504 shares. The transaction occurs as the stock trades 33.1% below its 52-week high and has declined 10.1% over the past 30 days and 15.1% over 90 days—a period of material weakness. However, Fernandez has demonstrated strong timing discipline in his prior trades at this ticker: 4 of 5 prior buys at J were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the 2025-05-08 and 2025-11-24 purchases each yielding +21.8% and +5.5% respectively over 90 days. This purchase pattern—adding to a position despite near-term headwinds—aligns with a track record of conviction during weakness followed by recovery. The current purchase follows a buy just 5 days prior (2026-05-08) that has already declined 12.0% in its short window, yet Fernandez continues to accumulate, suggesting either sustained conviction or a scheduled/systematic addition rather than a opportunistic "dip" response. Investors should monitor whether this buying pattern precedes a reversal consistent with his historical 90-day success rate at this ticker.

Director Fernandez purchases shares as stock trades well below 52-week high; repeat buyer with conflicting near-term vs long-term timing track record.

Director Manuel J Fernandez purchased over 400 shares of Jacobs Solutions in a single open-market transaction, marking his sixth open-market purchase in the past three years and reinforcing a strong buying pattern at this company. The timing is notable: the stock is trading well below its 52-week high and has declined noticeably over recent months, creating a potential opportunity for a director familiar with the company's operations. Fernandez's prior purchases at this ticker show conflicting results—his trades were evenly split between gains and losses over thirty days, but showed strong positive outcomes over a longer three-month horizon, suggesting his buys have been better-timed on extended timeframes. The company itself is profitable and generating substantial revenue growth, providing fundamental support for the purchase. However, the stock's recent weakness and Fernandez's mixed near-term timing history on previous buys suggest this is a measured accumulation rather than a high-conviction bottom-fishing move.
