Primoris Services

Primoris reported adjusted EPS of -$0.27 for Q2 2026 on revenue of $1.698 billion, missing consensus expectations. Gross margin plunged to 4.9%, weighed down by cost overruns on six renewable‑energy projects, and operating cash flow was negative. The company showed a record backlog of $13.9 billion but cut free cash flow guidance to $150–200 million (previously $350–400 million). The stock fell 5.7% in after‑hours trading; management expects results to recover in H2 2026 as the problem projects are completed. » More on de.investing.com

Primoris Energy Services secured a major engineering and construction agreement with Fermi to build the balance of plant for six SGT-800 gas turbines at the Project Matador data center site in Amarillo, Texas. Cantor Fitzgerald recently cut its price target to $100 and kept a Neutral rating, calling the name a "prove-it" story until execution is demonstrated. » More on finance.yahoo.com

Primoris reported Q1 2026 EPS of $0.59, well below the consensus forecast of $0.85; revenue was $1.6 billion versus $1.73 billion expected.

Offsetting positives included strong growth in the utilities segment, expansion of the battery storage business and the completed acquisition of PayneCrest. Management maintains a positive outlook for 2026, expecting EPS of $1.01 to $1.72 for the coming quarters. » More on de.investing.com
