Investment thesis

Primoris Services Corporation offers attractive analyst-implied upside of 42% and a low PEG ratio of 0.55, but its below-minimum quality score, weak momentum with RSI at 27, and concentrated customer exposure to its top 10 clients (53% of revenue) create meaningful near-term downside risks.

About Primoris Services Corporation

About Primoris Services Corporation

Primoris Services Corporation generated 97.7% of its 2025 revenue in the United States and 2.3% principally from Canada, operating through Utilities (gas and electric distribution, transmission, and communications) and Energy (engineering, procurement, and construction for renewable energy, petroleum, and petrochemical industries) segments. At December 31, 2025, the company employed 3,055 salaried and 15,471 hourly workers, with approximately 30% of hourly employees covered by collective bargaining agreements with varying expiration dates.

Primoris earns revenue through fixed-price, unit-price, time-and-material, and cost-plus contracts, with Master Service Agreements — multi-year deals primarily with regulated gas and electric utilities — accounting for 32.0% of 2025 total revenue. Top-ten customer revenue reached 53.1% of total revenue in 2025, up from 41.3% in 2024, driven by the timing of large construction projects rather than structural customer deepening; the composition of the top-ten group varies year to year. Competitors in the utilities market include Quanta Services, Dycom Industries, MYR Group, and MasTec; in renewables, Blattner Energy and Mortenson. The company self-performs most field work with its own crews and owns or long-term leases its construction equipment fleet, which management cites as both a cost advantage and a barrier to entry. Revenue is skewed toward the second, third, and fourth quarters due to weather impacts in the first quarter.

Show full overview

Labor availability is a primary execution risk for a self-performing contractor. The collective bargaining agreements covering roughly 30% of hourly field workers carry varying terms and must be renegotiated upon expiration; the 10-K acknowledges that disputes during renegotiation could disrupt field operations on fixed-price projects where schedule overruns trigger liquidated damages. Structural demand risk adds a second layer: highway work depends on federal and state government budgets subject to political uncertainty, and pipeline construction demand is sensitive to oil and natural gas price volatility, which can trigger rapid project deferrals by midstream and petrochemical customers.
