Analysis · IESC · Real Estate & Construction
A standout quarter saw revenue surge 40% to $1.24 billion and net income nearly double to $153.5 million, fueled by insatiable data center demand across the Communications, Infrastructure Solutions, and Commercial & Industrial segments. Visibility is exceptional, with remaining performance obligations reaching a record $2.8 billion. To improve liquidity and broaden ownership, a 2-for-1 stock split was approved on July 29. Tempering the operational strength, however, is heavy insider selling: Executive Chairman Jeffrey Gendell has offloaded over $146 million in stock over the past 90 days, a potential caution flag.
