Quanta Services: The Grid Integration Needs Builders, Not Just More Power

Summary I'm rating Quanta Services a strong buy because I believe PWR is an important platform in North America. Its scale, expertise, and record backlog position it to benefit from grid-modernization. The key growth drivers are record backlog, utility grid modernization, large-load interconnections, and hyperscale data center power demand. Together, I estimate these drivers can grow revenue from approximately $35Bn in 2026 to $43.5Bn in 2028, while EBITDA expands from $3.6Bn to $4.7Bn. My blended price target of $1,017 represents a 46% upside potential from the current price of $695. I arrive at PT by applying a 31.64x FWD-EBITDA and 51.04x FWD-P/E multiples. The biggest risks are valuation compression, project execution delays, and labor constraints. Nevertheless, record backlog, rising utility investment, and accelerating AI-related power demand provide a substantial cushion that supports my continued strong buy rating.

ROAD: Highway Funding And Earnings Guidance Will Support Further Upside

Analysts have raised their fair value estimate for Construction Partners stock from $139 to $150, reflecting updated assumptions around slightly higher profit margins, a lower future P/E multiple, and recent Street research that highlights solid organic growth but a more balanced near-term risk-reward after the stock's strong run. Analyst Commentary Street research around Construction Partners is fairly balanced, with bullish analysts pointing to solid organic growth and highway funding support, while more cautious voices focus on valuation and input cost risks after a strong share price move.
