IES Holdings

IES Holdings reported strong revenue and margin growth driven by high demand from data centers, manufacturing and infrastructure projects, while the residential real estate business remains pressured by high financing costs and weak construction activity. For fiscal 2025 the company reported about $3.4bn in revenue, operating income of $384m and adjusted EPS of $13.66; operating margin rose to over 11%. The company is planning the largest acquisition in its history: the purchase of DBM Global for around $650m, which would add 3,400 employees and a fifth segment. Management sees short‑term leadership strength in the communications segment and expects further growth in Infrastructure Solutions and continued strength in commercial and industrial, while the residential segment will remain weak for now. » More on de.investing.com
