Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call was strongly positive: record revenue, materially higher EPS, large margin expansion, robust backlog growth, and exceptional cash generation drove the message. Management highlighted major wins in modular and electrical businesses, closed an accretive acquisition, raised the dividend, and plans significant modular capacity expansion with attractive reported returns. Noted risks include higher absolute SG&A investment, a portion of Q2 cash driven by advanced customer payments, concentration in data center/technology exposure (with potential local moratorium/regulatory risks), and sizable ongoing capital commitments. On balance, the positive operational and financial developments substantially outweigh the identified risks.
Company Guidance
Management's guidance and outlook emphasized continued strong performance: they expect full‑year 2026 same‑store revenue growth in the mid‑ to high‑30% range, a full‑year effective tax rate of about 23%, and capital expenditures of roughly 5% of revenue; they also said gross profit margins should remain in the strong ranges seen recently (Q2 gross profit $844M, 25.9%). Key metrics and expectations entering Q3 included record backlog of $14.1B (up 73% YoY, same‑store backlog +69% vs. last year), Q2 revenue of $3.3B (+44% same‑store), EPS $12.53 (+92% YoY), Q2 EBITDA $600M (trailing 12‑month EBITDA ≈ $2B), free cash flow $999M and net cash >$1.8B. They highlighted operational details and allocation priorities: modular bookings ≈ $510M in Q2, modular capacity >3.5M sq ft (target >4M by year‑end and ~5M by late‑summer 2027), Electrical revenue +81% and Mechanical +40% with segment margins of 26.4% and 25.6% respectively, SG&A 8.8% of revenue, operating income $558M (17.1% margin), service = 10% of revenue (+7%), Hunt Electric adding ~ $250M annualized revenue, and a quarterly dividend up $0.10 to $0.90 while continuing to pursue CapEx, acquisitions and opportunistic buybacks.
Record Quarterly Revenue and Strong EPS
Revenue of $3.3 billion in Q2 2026 (first quarter above $3.0B), up $1.1 billion YoY (approximately +50%); net income $442 million and EPS $12.53, up 92% YoY.
Robust Profitability and Margin Expansion

Mechanical gross margin rose to 25.6% (from 22.9%) and Electrical to 26.4% (from 25.3%). Operating income increased 86% to $558 million and operating margin improved to 17.1% (from 13.8%).
Significant EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Generation
EBITDA grew 80% YoY to $600 million for the quarter and trailing 12-month EBITDA is ~ $2.0 billion. Free cash flow of $999 million in Q2 2026.
Record Backlog and Strong Bookings
Backlog reached a record $14.1 billion, up $5.9 billion YoY (+73%) and up $1.6 billion sequentially (+13%). Same-store backlog is 69% higher YoY.

Modular Business Momentum and Capacity Expansion
Modular bookings in the quarter ~ $510 million; modular footprint >3.5 million sq ft now, >4 million by year-end, and targeted ~5 million sq ft by late summer 2027. Management reports very strong returns on modular CapEx (paybacks often within 1–2 years).
Strategic M&A and Capital Allocation Actions
Closed acquisition of Hunt Electric (May 1) expected to contribute roughly $250 million of annualized revenue. Increased quarterly dividend by $0.10 to $0.90 per share. Net cash position over $1.8 billion and continued focus on buybacks/acquisitions.
Service Revenue Growth and Long-Term Service Opportunity
Service revenue up 7% year-to-date and represents ~10% of total revenue. Management emphasizes long-term service opportunities in data centers from growing installed base.
