Here are the key takeaways from EMCOR Group’s conference call:

• Record second-quarter performance: Revenue rose 19.8% year over year to $5.15 billion, operating income increased nearly 32% to $547.3 million, and diluted EPS grew 35% to $9.06. Electrical and mechanical construction led growth, supported by data center, institutional, manufacturing, and logistics demand.
• Full-year 2026 guidance was raised to revenue of $20.0 billion–$20.5 billion and diluted EPS of $32.00–$33.25, reflecting strong first-half execution, operating leverage, and visibility from the company’s backlog.
• Remaining performance obligations reached a record $17.14 billion, up 44% year over year and 95% organically. Bookings were broad-based, with especially strong demand in data centers and additional strength in water and wastewater, healthcare, and institutional markets.
• EMCOR agreed to acquire five union electrical contractors with combined trailing revenue of $625 million and EBITDA of $105 million, funded through cash and potentially its credit facility. Management expects $250 million–$275 million of revenue contribution in the second half, while near-term EPS accretion will be limited by acquisition-related amortization and lower interest income.
• Mechanical construction margin declined 110 basis points to 12.5% because of a greater mix of construction-management, prime-contractor, GMP, and cost-plus work. Management also expects weaker refinery turnaround activity in the second half due to geopolitical conditions, which could modestly pressure industrial-services margins.
