Joseph Jacobs founded the engineering firm in 1947, and it designs and manages infrastructure, water, and advanced-facility projects for government and corporate clients. Revenue is professional services billed against long project schedules, so backlog and staff utilization matter more than any product cycle. The separation of the government services business in 2024 narrowed the company toward infrastructure and life-sciences facilities. Public infrastructure funding is the largest single demand driver. Headquarters are in Dallas.

A protective put caps your downside on the J position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current J option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share J position at $142.86 is worth $714,300. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $14,286 to $28,572) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off J's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.
