Third-quarter results on October 28 • 2026-10-28

Base target: $300 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

Q2 gross margin of 13.2% benefited by 0.9 percentage points from changes in project gross-profit estimates. Project inefficiencies, acquisition integration, or slower backlog conversion could reverse that benefit.

Invalidation

Break below $220 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Record Q2 revenue of $1.08 billion, $3.17 diluted EPS, and $3.16 billion backlog support a constructive operating prior if MYR sustains project productivity and converts C&I work at healthy margins.

Commentary

Company-announced Q3 timing and strong Q2 results provide a positive but dated operating backdrop. The packet has no recent-news, social, options, short-interest, or verified analyst-revision coverage; zero values above indicate unavailable measurements, not neutral readings. A post-Q3 price reaction cannot yet be assessed.

Third-quarter results on October 28
MYR announced that it will release Q3 2026 results after the October 28 close, with a call on October 29. The key test is whether backlog growth and project margins persisted; no Q3 result or consensus surprise is available yet. [#PR-EARNINGS-2026-10-14]

Backlog conversion and C&I execution
2027-06-30
Q2 backlog reached $3.16 billion, up 19.6% year over year, while C&I revenue rose $163.6 million year over year. Conversion into profitable revenue could support the shares, but Q2's margin benefited from favorable project-estimate changes that may not recur. SEC-filed earnings exhibit: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/700923/000070092326000041/myrg-2026630x8kxexx991.htm [#PR-2026-07-29]
Prob 60% • Move 9% • Priced-in 50%
Acquisition integration and financing
2027-10-18
MYR said its Valley Electric and Comet Electric acquisition closed July 1 and expanded C&I capabilities. A September 8-K says credit-agreement borrowings are expected to refinance debt and fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and general purposes. Integration and use of borrowing capacity warrant monitoring; neither source establishes incremental earnings. [#8-K-2026-09-10] https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/700923/000070092326000047/myrg-20260908.htm
Prob 50% • Move 4% • Priced-in 35%

Risks

Acquisition integration and future borrowing needs could alter cash flow or leverage.
Favorable project-estimate revisions and closeouts may not repeat; the Q2 release also cited inefficiencies on certain projects.
Fixed-price C&I contract execution could pressure margins despite backlog growth.
Q3 results and guidance are not yet available; the scheduled print may materially change the thesis.

Peers

Symbol	Summary
EME	EMCOR is a MYR-identified core peer for electrical construction exposure, but its broader mechanical-services mix limits comparability. [#10-K-2026-02-25]
MTZ	MasTec is another MYR-identified core peer with overlapping infrastructure contracting activity; segment mix differs. [#10-K-2026-02-25]
PWR	Quanta Services is one of the core operating peers MYR identifies in its 2025 10-K, though its scale and business mix limit direct multiple comparisons. [#10-K-2026-02-25]
