צמיחה3/4 ↑

ההכנסות צמחו ב-34.0% במחצית הראשונה של 2026, אבל כ-13 נקודות אחוז מתוכן נרכשו. גם בלי רכישות הצמיחה, כ-20.7%, גבוהה בהרבה מהשוק.

איכות העסק3/4 →

צוותים מיומנים נדירים מביאים לה נתח גדול יותר מתקציבי חברות החשמל, אבל שיעורי הרווח לא עלו, חברות החשמל מעסיקות בעצמן את רוב עובדי הקווים, ובדוח ה-10-K של החברה עצמה מוזכר שחסמי הכניסה נמוכים.

איתנות פיננסית3/4 →

חוב נטו של כ-5.6 מיליארד דולר, פי 1.7 מה-EBITDA, ופירעונות שמפוזרים עד 2041. אבל הרכישות ממומנות בחוב, והחוב ברוטו עלה שוב באוגוסט.

יכולת ביצוע4/4 ↑

התחזית הועלתה פעמיים ב-2026, שמונה רבעונים ברצף מעל הקונסנזוס, ולא נמצאה מחיקה מהותית בפרויקט בשנים 2023 עד 2026.

ערך לבעלי המניות3/4 →

מספר המניות בדילול מלא עלה ב-1.0% בשנה, בגלל תגמול במניות ועסקאות שמומנו במניות, ובלי רכישה חוזרת ב-2026. הצמיחה עוקפת את הדילול, אבל הוא לא התהפך.

פוטנציאל2/4 ↑

תוכניות ההשקעה של חברות החשמל גדולות, אבל עבודות ההולכה וההפקה הגדולות עוד לא נכללו בצבר, והן תלויות בהחלטות של רגולטורים ושל לקוחות.

רמת סיכון3/4 →

אין לקוח שמהווה יותר מ-8%, אבל 70% מההכנסות נשענות על תקציבים של חברות חשמל מוסדרות, ו-60.6% מההכנסות הן בחוזים במחיר קבוע.

תמחור1/4 ↓

מכפיל של 51 על הרווח התפעולי מניח שיעור רווח של 12.2% על ההכנסות של 2026; אף מתחרה נסחרת לא מרוויחה יותר מ-5.8%.

השורה התחתונה

הציון שלנו: לא אטרקטיבית. Quanta בונה ומתקנת קווי חשמל, תחנות משנה וחיווט למרכזי נתונים בארה״ב, וזה עסק טוב: הצוותים המיומנים שלה מאפשרים לה לצמוח מהר יותר מההשקעות של חברות החשמל. אבל היתרון הזה מביא יותר עבודה, לא מחירים טובים יותר, והרווח שלה מכל דולר מכירות כמעט לא זז בחמש שנים. המחיר מניח שיעורי רווח כפולים בערך ממה ששמרה אי פעם, ולכן הוא מנופח. כהימור היא שבירה: גם אם ההימור יצליח, הכסף של היום יצטמצם מעט; ואם הצמיחה תיעצר, יישאר הרבה פחות ממחצית. אנחנו חושבים שהעסק טוב והמחיר לא.

הטיעון לטווח הארוךארה״ב צריכה הרבה יותר רשת חשמל אחרי שנים של ביקוש יציב, ומישהו צריך לבנות אותה. ל-Quanta יש את הצוותים המיומנים והיקף הפעילות שחברות החשמל עצמן חסרות.

The Edison Electric Institute, the trade association of investor-owned electric utilities, reports its members' capital expenditures at a record $204.1B in 2025, a 14th consecutive record year, projects $238.8B in 2026, up 17%, and $1.4T over 2026 to 2030 against a previous projection of $1.1T. In its September 2025 projection for 2025, distribution was $66.0B (32%) and transmission $37.6B (18%), together about half of the total.
against this

The 2025 actual of $204.1B came in below EEI's own September 2025 projection of $207.9B, so the association's projections have run ahead of spending. The Census Bureau's measure of power construction actually put in place grew only 3.6% in the first seven months of 2026 (C31). And investor-owned utilities are not all of Quanta's utility customers - cooperatives, municipal utilities and power developers sit outside EEI's figure.

The moat is a scarce input - trained, safety-qualified craft labour in volume across the country - and it shows up as share rather than as price. Electric segment revenue grew 37.5% in the first half of 2026, about 27.5% without acquisitions, against a 17% rise in investor-owned utility capital spending projected for 2026, so Quanta is taking a larger share of its customers' budgets. Its utility customers already outsource heavily - PG&E alone uses about 39,000 contractor individuals from about 1,200 firms against 29,000 of its own employees - and Quanta's Electric segment revenue of $23.00B in 2025 was about 2.6 times the three filed competitors' matching segments combined. But the gross margin was 15.0% in both 2021 and 2025 and the operating margin 5.1% and 5.7%, so the scarcity has bought volume, not a better price.
derivedElectric segment growth and acquired revenue from the 10-Q (C03); EEI capital spending (C14); PG&E's own workforce disclosure (C20); competitors' segment revenue (C22); the five-year margin series (C39). The inference is that faster-than-market growth at flat margins is what a scarce-input advantage in a regulated-price market looks like.
against this

The share gain is flattered by what Quanta buys outside the utility budget: data-centre electrical and mechanical work sold to technology customers is inside the Electric growth rate and is not utility capital spending, so the comparison with EEI overstates the share taken from utilities. And the Q2 2026 margin rise to 7.3% from 5.5% may be the scarcity finally reaching price; the next two prints can overturn the 'volume, not price' half of this claim.

Over five years Quanta's revenue rose from $12.98B in 2021 to $28.48B in 2025, while its gross margin was 15.0% in 2021, 14.8% in 2022, 14.1% in 2023, 14.8% in 2024 and 15.0% in 2025, and its operating margin 5.1%, 5.1%, 5.4%, 5.7% and 5.7%.
against this

The first half of 2026 broke the pattern: gross margin 15.2% against 14.2% a year earlier and operating margin 5.9% against 4.7%, with Q2 2026 at 16.2% and 7.3%. If that holds through a full year it is the first evidence of pricing in the series.

For Q2 2026 Quanta reported revenue of $9.56B, up 41.1% from $6.77B. The 10-Q attributes approximately $575M of the Electric increase and $355M of the Underground and Infrastructure increase to acquired businesses, about $930M together, so growth without acquisitions was about 27 of the 41 points. For the first half, acquired businesses contributed about $1.73B of a $4.43B increase, so first-half growth of 34.0% was about 20.7% without them. Gross margin was 16.2% against 14.9%; operating income was $694.8M, a margin of 7.3% against 5.5%; Electric segment margin was 11.5% against 10.1%. Diluted GAAP earnings per share were $2.96 against an adjusted $4.24.
against this

The organic figure is an estimate built from the 10-Q's rounded acquired-revenue amounts, and 'acquired' there means businesses bought since the comparable period, so a business bought in mid-2025 counts as acquired for only part of the year. The call says acquisitions closed in Q2 2026 contributed only about $11M of adjusted EBITDA, so the quarter's margin gain is not the new companies.

At a close of $649.13 on September 25, 2026 Quanta's enterprise value was about 51.0 times trailing operating profit against a median of 21.5 for the three filed-cohort competitors (MYR Group 20.2, MasTec 21.5, Primoris 22.2), 73.4 times trailing earnings against 28.2, and 34.6 times trailing EBITDA against 15.1. Against its own history, enterprise value to EBITDA was 34.2 against a six-year median of 18.7. Trailing operating profit, from the filings, was about $2.04B: 2025's $1.61B plus the first half of 2026's $1.03B less the first half of 2025's $0.61B.
against this

The cohort members are each only partly comparable - utility grid work is 28.5% to 48.4% of their revenue (C22) - and all three are smaller, so part of the premium is a scale premium the cohort cannot price. Quanta also grows faster than the cohort median. Neither closes a gap of 2.4 times.

What the price implies: at the cohort's median of 21.5 times operating profit, today's enterprise value of about $103.7B would need operating profit of about $4.8B, 2.4 times the trailing $2.04B. At the trailing operating margin of 6.2% that is revenue of about $78B - against guided 2026 revenue of $39.3B to $39.7B and an average analyst estimate of $62.9B for 2030. At guided 2026 revenue it is an operating margin of about 12.2%, against 5.7% in 2025, 7.3% in Q2 2026, a filed-cohort operating margin median of 5.5%, and a consolidated ceiling near 8% implied by the chief executive's own 12% 'utmost' segment margin less 2025's corporate costs of 4.0% of revenue.
derivedenterprise value and cohort median from the research pack (C10); trailing operating profit and 2025 corporate costs from the 10-K and 10-Q (C02, C03); 2026 revenue guidance (C12); analysts' 2030 revenue estimate from the pack, an average of four; the margin ceiling from the call (C06). Arithmetic: 103.7 / 21.5 = 4.82; 4.82 / 2.04 = 2.37; 4.82 / 0.062 = 77.8; 4.82 / 39.5 = 12.2%.
against this

The peer median is not the only defensible multiple: a business with Quanta's scale, growth and record could deserve a lasting premium, and at 30 times rather than 21.5 the required operating profit is about $3.5B, which guided 2026 revenue reaches at an 8.8% margin - above anything Quanta has earned, but within reach of the chief executive's stated ceiling if corporate costs shrink as a share of revenue. The estimate also uses trailing profit, which in a business growing 34% lags the current run rate by about half a year.

Electric is the historical Electric Power Infrastructure and Renewable Energy Infrastructure segments combined, with prior periods recast. Over the twelve months to June 30, 2026 Electric had revenue of $26.91B and segment operating income of $2.86B (10.6%), Underground and Infrastructure $6.00B and $0.49B (8.2%), and corporate and non-allocated costs were $1.32B, 4.0% of revenue. In the first half of 2026 acquired businesses supplied about $1.04B of Electric's $3.90B revenue increase, about 27%, and about $690M of Underground and Infrastructure's $521M increase, so that segment shrank about 6.5% without them.
against this

The acquired amounts are the 10-Q's rounded figures and 'acquired' means bought since the comparable period, so a business bought in mid-2025 counts as acquired for only part of the year; the organic rates are approximate. Segment operating income is struck before corporate costs, amortisation and stock pay, so it flatters both segments by construction.

C41אומדןmedium confidence
Allocating the $1.32B of trailing corporate costs to the segments by revenue, Electric earned about $1.78B of operating profit after its share over the twelve months to June 2026, a 6.6% margin, and Underground and Infrastructure about $0.25B, 4.2%. At the chief executive's 'utmost' 12% Electric segment margin less 4.0% of corporate costs, Electric's margin after its share would be about 8.0%.
derivedsegment figures and corporate costs from the 10-K and 10-Q (C40); the margin ceiling from the call (C06). Arithmetic: Electric share of revenue 26.91 / 32.91 = 81.8%; 2.86 - 0.818 x 1.32 = 1.78; Underground 0.49 - 0.182 x 1.32 = 0.25; 12.0% - 4.0% = 8.0%. Allocating by revenue is a judgement: the filings do not allocate corporate costs at all.
against this

Most of the corporate line is amortisation of acquired intangibles and acquisition costs, and the larger buys of 2025 (Dynamic Systems) and 2026 sit partly in Underground and Infrastructure, so a revenue split may put too much of that cost on Electric and understate its profit; it also may not, since Cupertino Electric, bought in 2024, sits in Electric.

החברה

כשחברת חשמל צריכה קו מתח גבוה חדש, תחנת משנה או תיקוני סערה, יש לה שתי אפשרויות: להשתמש בצוותים שלה או לשכור קבלן. Quanta היא הגדולה בקבלנים האלה, עם כ-69,500 עובדים בסוף 2025.

היא מוכרת עבודה, לא ציוד: תכנון הנדסי, זכויות מעבר, עמודים, כבלים ותיקונים בקווים חיים. היא גם מחווטת מרכזי נתונים ומפעלים. חברות החשמל שוכרות אותה לשיאי העומס שהצוותים שלהן לא מכסים. PG&E, לקוחה אחת, מעסיקה כ-39,000 עובדי קבלן לצד 29,000 עובדים שלה.

Quanta Services describes itself as 'a leading provider of comprehensive infrastructure solutions for the electric and gas utility, power generation, large load center, manufacturing, communications, pipeline and energy industries', providing design, engineering, procurement, construction, upgrade and repair and maintenance services. It reports two segments: Electric, which builds and maintains transmission and distribution lines, substations, renewable generation and the electrical systems of large load centres such as data centres, and Underground and Infrastructure, which serves gas utilities, pipelines, industrial plants and the mechanical and plumbing work of large load centres. At December 31, 2025 it had about 69,500 employees, 55,700 of them hourly, about 36% covered by collective bargaining agreements, and a fleet of about 80,000 owned and leased units including helicopters. It makes some of what it installs - high- and low-voltage power transformers, and since 2026 a 49% stake in a joint venture making high-voltage circuit breakers.

Quanta owns Northwest Lineman College and the Quanta Advanced Training Center (10-K). On the Q2 2026 call the chief executive said 'it takes about 4 years to make a craftsman and a journeyman', that Quanta spends 'about $250 million a year in training', and that it added about 15,000 employees over the year, more than 7,000 of them organically. The CEO also put total employees above 85,000.
against this

Hiring more than 7,000 people organically in a year says the labour pool is deeper than 'four years to make a journeyman' implies, at least at Quanta's wage. If a well-paid contractor can grow its craft workforce that fast, so can a rival or a utility, and the scarcity is a matter of pay and time rather than a wall.

For the year ended December 31, 2025 Quanta reported revenue of $28.48B and operating income of $1.61B, a margin of 5.7%, the same 5.7% as 2024. Electric segment revenue was $23.00B at a segment operating margin of 10.3% and Underground and Infrastructure $5.48B at 7.3%; corporate and non-allocated costs, which include amortisation of acquired intangibles and stock compensation, were $1.15B, 4.0% of revenue. Net income attributable to common stock was $1.03B, $6.80 per diluted share, against an adjusted $10.75. Operating cash flow was $2.23B and capital expenditure $609.2M.
against this

The 5.7% is struck after $498.8M of amortisation of acquired intangibles, 1.7% of revenue, which management adds back in every adjusted figure it publishes. Before that line the operating margin was about 7.5%. Both are the company's own numbers; this thesis uses the GAAP line because the acquisitions that create the amortisation recur every year (C08).

At June 30, 2026 Quanta reported backlog of $53.44B, against $43.98B at December 31, 2025, and $32.31B of it expected within twelve months. Remaining performance obligations, the firm-order part, were $33.55B against $23.76B. Master service agreements - under which, in the 10-Q's words, 'customers are not contractually committed to specific volumes of our services' - made up 41% of total backlog and 33% of the twelve-month figure, and 'most of our contracts can be terminated on short notice even if we are not in default'. The increase was 'partially due to the impact of acquisitions'. At September 30, 2026 backlog was $63.7B and remaining performance obligations $41.8B (C50).
against this

Backlog is a non-GAAP measure Quanta itself warns 'may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies', and 41% of it is an estimate of future orders under agreements that commit the customer to nothing. The chief executive also says data-centre work is often booked and billed inside a quarter without ever appearing in backlog, so backlog can understate one part of the business while overstating the commitment in another.

The figure is already stale on the low side: Austin sold 155,992 shares on May 5, 2026 (C28), after the record date, so insiders now hold less than the 0.6% shown.

Quanta's 2025 annual bonus paid on adjusted EBITDA (60%), which adds back amortisation, depreciation and stock pay, adjusted EBITDA margin on revenue excluding businesses bought that year (20%) and safety improvement (20%); it paid 126.8% of target. Performance shares for 2025 to 2027, 70% of the CEO's equity, pay on three-year average return on invested capital (60%) and cumulative adjusted EPS (40%), with a 15% relative shareholder-return modifier; the 2023-2025 cycle paid 188.5%.
against this
  • Return on invested capital is struck on adjusted EBITA but over total assets less cash and non-interest-bearing current liabilities, so goodwill from deals sits in the denominator and buying expensively does cost the plan something.
  • The EBITDA bonus and the adjusted EPS award both leave out the amortisation of what was bought (C09), so an acquisition paid partly in shares can lift both without the GAAP margin moving.

הדבר הנדיר הוא עובדי קווים מיומנים. הכשרה של אחד לוקחת כארבע שנים, ובכל המדינה יש כ-131,000. כשתקציבי חברות החשמל קופצים, העבודה הולכת לקבלן עם הכי הרבה צוותים.

זה ניכר בנתח השוק. פעילות החשמל של Quanta צמחה בכ-27.5% במחצית הראשונה של 2026 בלי לספור חברות שרכשה, בעוד תקציבי חברות החשמל צפויים לעלות ב-17%. זה לא ניכר במחיר: שיעור הרווח הגולמי שלה היה 15.0% גם ב-2021 וגם ב-2025.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 131,070 electrical power-line installers and repairers in the US in May 2025. 62,470 of them, 47.7%, were employed in electric power generation, transmission and distribution - by the utilities themselves - against 38,990, 29.7%, in utility system construction firms and 8,140 in specialty trade contractors. It projects employment of the trade to grow 10% from 2025 to 2035.
against this

The industry split cuts both ways: the buyer already employs about 1.6 line workers for every one in a line-construction firm, which is the strongest evidence that the customer can do this work itself. A 10% rise over ten years is about 13,600 people, which Quanta's own claim of more than 7,000 organic hires in a year (C18) says is not the binding limit on one company.

Electric segment revenue grew 37.5% in the first half of 2026, about 27.5% without acquisitions, against a 17% rise in investor-owned utility capital spending projected for 2026, so Quanta is taking a larger share of its customers' budgets. Its utility customers already outsource heavily - PG&E alone uses about 39,000 contractor individuals from about 1,200 firms against 29,000 of its own employees - and Quanta's Electric segment revenue of $23.00B in 2025 was about 2.6 times the three filed competitors' matching segments combined. But the gross margin was 15.0% in both 2021 and 2025 and the operating margin 5.1% and 5.7%, so the scarcity has bought volume, not a better price.
derivedElectric segment growth and acquired revenue from the 10-Q (C03); EEI capital spending (C14); PG&E's own workforce disclosure (C20); competitors' segment revenue (C22); the five-year margin series (C39). The inference is that faster-than-market growth at flat margins is what a scarce-input advantage in a regulated-price market looks like.
against this

The share gain is flattered by what Quanta buys outside the utility budget: data-centre electrical and mechanical work sold to technology customers is inside the Electric growth rate and is not utility capital spending, so the comparison with EEI overstates the share taken from utilities. And the Q2 2026 margin rise to 7.3% from 5.5% may be the scarcity finally reaching price; the next two prints can overturn the 'volume, not price' half of this claim.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 131,070 electrical power-line installers and repairers in the US in May 2025. 62,470 of them, 47.7%, were employed in electric power generation, transmission and distribution - by the utilities themselves - against 38,990, 29.7%, in utility system construction firms and 8,140 in specialty trade contractors. It projects employment of the trade to grow 10% from 2025 to 2035.
against this

The industry split cuts both ways: the buyer already employs about 1.6 line workers for every one in a line-construction firm, which is the strongest evidence that the customer can do this work itself. A 10% rise over ten years is about 13,600 people, which Quanta's own claim of more than 7,000 organic hires in a year (C18) says is not the binding limit on one company.

Quanta's own 10-K says its markets are 'highly competitive', that 'there are relatively few barriers to entry into some of the industries in which we operate', that 'price is often an important factor' in awarding its unit-price and fixed-price work, that its subcontractors 'may develop the expertise necessary to compete with us', and that 'the in-house service organizations of certain of our existing or prospective customers, primarily our utility customers, employ personnel who perform some of the same types of services we provide. Although these companies currently outsource a significant portion of these services, there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so'.

On the Q2 2026 call a Jefferies analyst said a large Midwest utility had indicated that for its gas generation request for proposals it was 'electing to self-perform because there's inadequate resources', and the chief executive replied that 'some of the utilities, a few of the utilities are trying to self-perform', adding that 'it sounds easy. It's not.'
against this

It concerns generation construction, where Quanta already says it will not take combined-cycle risk on the contracts offered, not the transmission and distribution work that is most of the Electric segment. The utility is unnamed and the report is second-hand from an analyst.

פוטנציאל הצמיחה

גודל ההזדמנות

חברות החשמל בבעלות משקיעים השקיעו ב-2025 סכום של 204.1 מיליארד דולר במערכות שלהן ומתכננות 238.8 מיליארד ל-2026, כמחצית מהם בקווי הולכה וחלוקה. ההכנסות של Quanta מחברות חשמל היו כעשירית מהסכום הכולל הזה.

אבל נתוני הממשלה על בנייה בפועל במערכת החשמל צמחו רק ב-3.6% בשבעת החודשים הראשונים של 2026, הרבה מתחת לתוכניות. חלק מהגידול בהוצאות נובע ממחירי ציוד, לא מעבודה נוספת.

The Edison Electric Institute, the trade association of investor-owned electric utilities, reports its members' capital expenditures at a record $204.1B in 2025, a 14th consecutive record year, projects $238.8B in 2026, up 17%, and $1.4T over 2026 to 2030 against a previous projection of $1.1T. In its September 2025 projection for 2025, distribution was $66.0B (32%) and transmission $37.6B (18%), together about half of the total.
against this

The 2025 actual of $204.1B came in below EEI's own September 2025 projection of $207.9B, so the association's projections have run ahead of spending. The Census Bureau's measure of power construction actually put in place grew only 3.6% in the first seven months of 2026 (C31). And investor-owned utilities are not all of Quanta's utility customers - cooperatives, municipal utilities and power developers sit outside EEI's figure.

The Census Bureau measures power construction put in place - public and private generation, transmission and distribution - at $103.0B in January to July 2026 against $99.4B a year earlier, up 3.6%, and at an annual rate of $181.5B in July 2026, up 5.3% on July 2025. Private power construction was up 4.6% year to date and public down 3.6%.
against this

The Census series is dollars of construction completed, while EEI's figure is capital spending including equipment, and equipment - transformers, breakers, turbines - is where prices and lead times have risen most (C32). The two can diverge without either being wrong, but a 3.6% rise in construction put in place is not a market growing at 17%.

ל-Quanta היה ב-30 ביוני 2026 צבר של 53.44 מיליארד דולר, אבל 41% ממנו הם הזמנות משוערות במסגרת הסכמים שאינם מחייבים את הלקוחות בדבר, ורוב החוזים ניתנים לביטול בהודעה קצרה. קווי ההולכה החדשים והגדולים מאוד עוד לא נחתמו: לדברי ההנהלה, הם יגיעו לשטח מסוף 2027.

At June 30, 2026 Quanta reported backlog of $53.44B, against $43.98B at December 31, 2025, and $32.31B of it expected within twelve months. Remaining performance obligations, the firm-order part, were $33.55B against $23.76B. Master service agreements - under which, in the 10-Q's words, 'customers are not contractually committed to specific volumes of our services' - made up 41% of total backlog and 33% of the twelve-month figure, and 'most of our contracts can be terminated on short notice even if we are not in default'. The increase was 'partially due to the impact of acquisitions'. At September 30, 2026 backlog was $63.7B and remaining performance obligations $41.8B (C50).
against this

Backlog is a non-GAAP measure Quanta itself warns 'may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies', and 41% of it is an estimate of future orders under agreements that commit the customer to nothing. The chief executive also says data-centre work is often booked and billed inside a quarter without ever appearing in backlog, so backlog can understate one part of the business while overstating the commitment in another.

The chief executive said on the Q2 2026 call that 'we're not in backlog on any of the bigger work yet. Even the generation work, most of it is, I would say, 95% of it is not in backlog either', that the large 765 kV, 500 kV and 345 kV projects will reach backlog from the second half of 2026 and the field in the second half of 2027, and that the traditional utility business is growing at 'upper single-digit' rates 'as it sits'.
against this

Large transmission has been 'just starting' for a decade - only 322 high-voltage miles were completed in 2024 (C16) - and the projects that are not in backlog are by definition not committed. Upper single-digit growth in the core utility business is roughly what EEI's spending growth would give without any share gain, and it is well short of the 20%-plus growth the price is paying for.

For Q3 2026 Quanta reported revenue of $12.01B against $7.63B, up 57.4%, with Electric $9.80B against $6.17B; operating income was $1,026.5M, a margin of 8.5% against 6.8% ($517.2M) a year earlier and 7.3% in Q2; over nine months operating income was $2,060.2M on $29.45B, 7.0%. Diluted GAAP earnings per share were $4.55 against $2.24 and adjusted $6.06 against $3.33. The release does not split growth into bought and not bought.
against this

The release gives no growth-without-acquisitions figure: five acquisitions in nine months and eight in 2025 are in the results, so how much of the 57.4% was bought is unread, and Q3 is the seasonally strongest quarter, so 8.5% is not a full-year margin.

Guidance has been raised each time since February, and each raise has been bigger than the last, so it says the company beat itself, not that the price is cheap; the seven weeks since the July guide include two more acquisitions that it says add nothing material this year.

The organic figure is an estimate built from the 10-Q's rounded acquired-revenue amounts, and 'acquired' there means businesses bought since the comparable period, so a business bought in mid-2025 counts as acquired for only part of the year. The call says acquisitions closed in Q2 2026 contributed only about $11M of adjusted EBITDA, so the quarter's margin gain is not the new companies.

Quanta buys companies every year. It completed five acquisitions in 2023, eight in 2024 including Cupertino Electric, and eight in 2025 including Dynamic Systems for about $1.26B in cash, 518,772 shares worth $218.8M and up to $216.0M of contingent payments. In Q2 2026 and July 2026 it bought Phalcon, Enerfab, Percheron and PSD for about $1.24B upfront - about $1.07B in cash and $173.3M in shares - plus up to $242.3M contingent, and expects them to add $1.2B to $1.4B of revenue and $120M to $140M of adjusted EBITDA in 2026. Cash paid for acquisitions was $930.3M in the first half of 2026 against $586.1M a year earlier.
against this

Management says the Q2 2026 beat was 'broad-based organic strength' and that the new acquisitions contributed about $11M of adjusted EBITDA in the quarter, so the pace of buying does not by itself explain the margin gain. The point here is the recurring cost, not that the growth is fake.

For Q3 2026 Quanta reported revenue of $12.01B against $7.63B, up 57.4%, with Electric $9.80B against $6.17B; operating income was $1,026.5M, a margin of 8.5% against 6.8% ($517.2M) a year earlier and 7.3% in Q2; over nine months operating income was $2,060.2M on $29.45B, 7.0%. Diluted GAAP earnings per share were $4.55 against $2.24 and adjusted $6.06 against $3.33. The release does not split growth into bought and not bought.
against this

The release gives no growth-without-acquisitions figure: five acquisitions in nine months and eight in 2025 are in the results, so how much of the 57.4% was bought is unread, and Q3 is the seasonally strongest quarter, so 8.5% is not a full-year margin.

שווי החברה, כולל החוב, הוא כ-51 פעמים הרווח התפעולי השנתי של Quanta. המתחרות שעושות אותה עבודה נסחרות בכ-21.5 פעמים.

כדי להיות מתומחרת כמו המתחרות, Quanta צריכה:

  1. להרוויח כ-4.8 מיליארד דולר בשנה מפעילות, פי 2.4 מהיום.
  2. ברווח של 6 סנט לכל דולר מכירות, כמו היום, זה דורש מכירות של כ-78 מיליארד דולר, כפול מהתחזית לשנה הזו.
  3. או לשמור כ-12 סנט מכל דולר על המכירות החזויות לשנה הזו.
  4. התקרה שהמנכ״ל עצמו מציין מצביעה על כ-8 סנט.

מול ההיסטוריה שלה. יקרה בהרבה מהרמה הרגילה שלה, בזמן ששיעור הרווח שהיה מצדיק את זה כמעט לא השתנה, ולכן הפער הוא התלהבות ולא עסק טוב יותר.

At a close of $649.13 on September 25, 2026 Quanta's enterprise value was about 51.0 times trailing operating profit against a median of 21.5 for the three filed-cohort competitors (MYR Group 20.2, MasTec 21.5, Primoris 22.2), 73.4 times trailing earnings against 28.2, and 34.6 times trailing EBITDA against 15.1. Against its own history, enterprise value to EBITDA was 34.2 against a six-year median of 18.7. Trailing operating profit, from the filings, was about $2.04B: 2025's $1.61B plus the first half of 2026's $1.03B less the first half of 2025's $0.61B.
against this

The cohort members are each only partly comparable - utility grid work is 28.5% to 48.4% of their revenue (C22) - and all three are smaller, so part of the premium is a scale premium the cohort cannot price. Quanta also grows faster than the cohort median. Neither closes a gap of 2.4 times.

current state · 2026-09-25written 2026-09-26
C11אומדןmedium confidence
What the price implies: at the cohort's median of 21.5 times operating profit, today's enterprise value of about $103.7B would need operating profit of about $4.8B, 2.4 times the trailing $2.04B. At the trailing operating margin of 6.2% that is revenue of about $78B - against guided 2026 revenue of $39.3B to $39.7B and an average analyst estimate of $62.9B for 2030. At guided 2026 revenue it is an operating margin of about 12.2%, against 5.7% in 2025, 7.3% in Q2 2026, a filed-cohort operating margin median of 5.5%, and a consolidated ceiling near 8% implied by the chief executive's own 12% 'utmost' segment margin less 2025's corporate costs of 4.0% of revenue.
derivedenterprise value and cohort median from the research pack (C10); trailing operating profit and 2025 corporate costs from the 10-K and 10-Q (C02, C03); 2026 revenue guidance (C12); analysts' 2030 revenue estimate from the pack, an average of four; the margin ceiling from the call (C06). Arithmetic: 103.7 / 21.5 = 4.82; 4.82 / 2.04 = 2.37; 4.82 / 0.062 = 77.8; 4.82 / 39.5 = 12.2%.
against this

The peer median is not the only defensible multiple: a business with Quanta's scale, growth and record could deserve a lasting premium, and at 30 times rather than 21.5 the required operating profit is about $3.5B, which guided 2026 revenue reaches at an 8.8% margin - above anything Quanta has earned, but within reach of the chief executive's stated ceiling if corporate costs shrink as a share of revenue. The estimate also uses trailing profit, which in a business growing 34% lags the current run rate by about half a year.

Against the filed cohort on trailing figures, Quanta's operating margin was 6.2% against a median of 5.5% (range 3.0% to 5.8%), its return on invested capital 8.4% against a median of 10.4% - below MasTec's 10.4% and MYR Group's 17.9%, above only Primoris's 5.7% - and its revenue growth 25.8% against a median of 16.1%.
against this

Quanta's return on invested capital is depressed by $7.87B of goodwill and $3.22B of acquired intangibles on its balance sheet at June 30, 2026, which organic rivals do not carry; on tangible capital its return would be higher. But that goodwill is what shareholders paid, so the lower return is the return they earn.

The chief executive said on the Q2 2026 call that Quanta self-performs 80% to 85% of its work; that 'the electric segment has the ability to operate 10 to 12 on the utility side, 12 would be the utmost margins that you would see'; that on the utility side 'we have ratepayers... It's very much regulated'; and that technology is '15% of the business... call it, 15% to 20%'.
against this

The margin ceiling is his own and it cuts against the price rather than for it: an Electric segment at its 'utmost' 12% with corporate costs at 2025's 4.0% of revenue gives a consolidated operating margin near 8%, far below the 12.2% the price implies at a peer multiple (C11). The technology figure is verbal and unaudited; the only filed number is 13% for 2025.

what Electric (Electric Infrastructure Solutions) is worth if it works, against what the price pays for it
הראיות (באנגלית) · 5 טענות
C40עובדהhigh confidence
Electric is the historical Electric Power Infrastructure and Renewable Energy Infrastructure segments combined, with prior periods recast. Over the twelve months to June 30, 2026 Electric had revenue of $26.91B and segment operating income of $2.86B (10.6%), Underground and Infrastructure $6.00B and $0.49B (8.2%), and corporate and non-allocated costs were $1.32B, 4.0% of revenue. In the first half of 2026 acquired businesses supplied about $1.04B of Electric's $3.90B revenue increase, about 27%, and about $690M of Underground and Infrastructure's $521M increase, so that segment shrank about 6.5% without them.
against this

The acquired amounts are the 10-Q's rounded figures and 'acquired' means bought since the comparable period, so a business bought in mid-2025 counts as acquired for only part of the year; the organic rates are approximate. Segment operating income is struck before corporate costs, amortisation and stock pay, so it flatters both segments by construction.

C41אומדןmedium confidence
Allocating the $1.32B of trailing corporate costs to the segments by revenue, Electric earned about $1.78B of operating profit after its share over the twelve months to June 2026, a 6.6% margin, and Underground and Infrastructure about $0.25B, 4.2%. At the chief executive's 'utmost' 12% Electric segment margin less 4.0% of corporate costs, Electric's margin after its share would be about 8.0%.
derivedsegment figures and corporate costs from the 10-K and 10-Q (C40); the margin ceiling from the call (C06). Arithmetic: Electric share of revenue 26.91 / 32.91 = 81.8%; 2.86 - 0.818 x 1.32 = 1.78; Underground 0.49 - 0.182 x 1.32 = 0.25; 12.0% - 4.0% = 8.0%. Allocating by revenue is a judgement: the filings do not allocate corporate costs at all.
against this

Most of the corporate line is amortisation of acquired intangibles and acquisition costs, and the larger buys of 2025 (Dynamic Systems) and 2026 sit partly in Underground and Infrastructure, so a revenue split may put too much of that cost on Electric and understate its profit; it also may not, since Cupertino Electric, bought in 2024, sits in Electric.

אנחנו חושבים

הצמיחה אמיתית, אבל צוותים נדירים מביאים נפח עבודה ולא מחירים. מכפיל כפול משל המתחרות מניח שיעורי רווח שלקוחות מוסדרים לא ישלמו.

השוק מסתכל על הצמיחה ועל העלאות התחזית, ושתיהן אמיתיות: 27 אנליסטים ממליצים לקנות ואף אחד לא ממליץ למכור.

הראיות שסותרות את ההערכה שלנו הן הרבעון השני של 2026, שבו שיעור הרווח עלה ל-7.3 סנט לכל דולר. אם הוא ימשיך לעלות מעל 8, העסק גדל אל תוך המחיר ואנחנו טועים.

The moat is a scarce input - trained, safety-qualified craft labour in volume across the country - and it shows up as share rather than as price. Electric segment revenue grew 37.5% in the first half of 2026, about 27.5% without acquisitions, against a 17% rise in investor-owned utility capital spending projected for 2026, so Quanta is taking a larger share of its customers' budgets. Its utility customers already outsource heavily - PG&E alone uses about 39,000 contractor individuals from about 1,200 firms against 29,000 of its own employees - and Quanta's Electric segment revenue of $23.00B in 2025 was about 2.6 times the three filed competitors' matching segments combined. But the gross margin was 15.0% in both 2021 and 2025 and the operating margin 5.1% and 5.7%, so the scarcity has bought volume, not a better price.
derivedElectric segment growth and acquired revenue from the 10-Q (C03); EEI capital spending (C14); PG&E's own workforce disclosure (C20); competitors' segment revenue (C22); the five-year margin series (C39). The inference is that faster-than-market growth at flat margins is what a scarce-input advantage in a regulated-price market looks like.
against this

The share gain is flattered by what Quanta buys outside the utility budget: data-centre electrical and mechanical work sold to technology customers is inside the Electric growth rate and is not utility capital spending, so the comparison with EEI overstates the share taken from utilities. And the Q2 2026 margin rise to 7.3% from 5.5% may be the scarcity finally reaching price; the next two prints can overturn the 'volume, not price' half of this claim.

Over five years Quanta's revenue rose from $12.98B in 2021 to $28.48B in 2025, while its gross margin was 15.0% in 2021, 14.8% in 2022, 14.1% in 2023, 14.8% in 2024 and 15.0% in 2025, and its operating margin 5.1%, 5.1%, 5.4%, 5.7% and 5.7%.
against this

The first half of 2026 broke the pattern: gross margin 15.2% against 14.2% a year earlier and operating margin 5.9% against 4.7%, with Q2 2026 at 16.2% and 7.3%. If that holds through a full year it is the first evidence of pricing in the series.

What the price implies: at the cohort's median of 21.5 times operating profit, today's enterprise value of about $103.7B would need operating profit of about $4.8B, 2.4 times the trailing $2.04B. At the trailing operating margin of 6.2% that is revenue of about $78B - against guided 2026 revenue of $39.3B to $39.7B and an average analyst estimate of $62.9B for 2030. At guided 2026 revenue it is an operating margin of about 12.2%, against 5.7% in 2025, 7.3% in Q2 2026, a filed-cohort operating margin median of 5.5%, and a consolidated ceiling near 8% implied by the chief executive's own 12% 'utmost' segment margin less 2025's corporate costs of 4.0% of revenue.
derivedenterprise value and cohort median from the research pack (C10); trailing operating profit and 2025 corporate costs from the 10-K and 10-Q (C02, C03); 2026 revenue guidance (C12); analysts' 2030 revenue estimate from the pack, an average of four; the margin ceiling from the call (C06). Arithmetic: 103.7 / 21.5 = 4.82; 4.82 / 2.04 = 2.37; 4.82 / 0.062 = 77.8; 4.82 / 39.5 = 12.2%.
against this

The peer median is not the only defensible multiple: a business with Quanta's scale, growth and record could deserve a lasting premium, and at 30 times rather than 21.5 the required operating profit is about $3.5B, which guided 2026 revenue reaches at an 8.8% margin - above anything Quanta has earned, but within reach of the chief executive's stated ceiling if corporate costs shrink as a share of revenue. The estimate also uses trailing profit, which in a business growing 34% lags the current run rate by about half a year.

מה יכול להשתבש, ואיך נדע

הסיכונים

  • שיעורי הרווח באמת עשויים לעלות. הרבעון השני של 2026 היה שיעור הרווח הטוב ביותר מזה שנים; מעבר מתמשך מעל 8 סנט לכל דולר יפרק את הטיעון שלנו.
  • חברות חשמל שעושות את העבודה בעצמן. חברות החשמל כבר מעסיקות את רוב עובדי הקווים, ויכולות לגייס עוד במקום לשלם לקבלנים.
  • טעויות בחוזים במחיר קבוע. העבודה במחיר קבוע עלתה ל-61% מההכנסות; טעות יקרה בפרויקט גדול אחד נופלת כולה על Quanta.
  • תוכניות שמקדימות את הבנייה. תוכניות ההשקעה של חברות החשמל עלו ב-17%, בעוד הבנייה בפועל במערכת החשמל צמחה ב-3.6%.
  • חשבונות החשמל של הצרכנים. רגולטורים עשויים להאט את ההשקעות אם חשבונות החשמל ימשיכו לעלות.

For Q2 2026 Quanta reported revenue of $9.56B, up 41.1% from $6.77B. The 10-Q attributes approximately $575M of the Electric increase and $355M of the Underground and Infrastructure increase to acquired businesses, about $930M together, so growth without acquisitions was about 27 of the 41 points. For the first half, acquired businesses contributed about $1.73B of a $4.43B increase, so first-half growth of 34.0% was about 20.7% without them. Gross margin was 16.2% against 14.9%; operating income was $694.8M, a margin of 7.3% against 5.5%; Electric segment margin was 11.5% against 10.1%. Diluted GAAP earnings per share were $2.96 against an adjusted $4.24.
against this

The organic figure is an estimate built from the 10-Q's rounded acquired-revenue amounts, and 'acquired' there means businesses bought since the comparable period, so a business bought in mid-2025 counts as acquired for only part of the year. The call says acquisitions closed in Q2 2026 contributed only about $11M of adjusted EBITDA, so the quarter's margin gain is not the new companies.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 131,070 electrical power-line installers and repairers in the US in May 2025. 62,470 of them, 47.7%, were employed in electric power generation, transmission and distribution - by the utilities themselves - against 38,990, 29.7%, in utility system construction firms and 8,140 in specialty trade contractors. It projects employment of the trade to grow 10% from 2025 to 2035.
against this

The industry split cuts both ways: the buyer already employs about 1.6 line workers for every one in a line-construction firm, which is the strongest evidence that the customer can do this work itself. A 10% rise over ten years is about 13,600 people, which Quanta's own claim of more than 7,000 organic hires in a year (C18) says is not the binding limit on one company.

The Edison Electric Institute, the trade association of investor-owned electric utilities, reports its members' capital expenditures at a record $204.1B in 2025, a 14th consecutive record year, projects $238.8B in 2026, up 17%, and $1.4T over 2026 to 2030 against a previous projection of $1.1T. In its September 2025 projection for 2025, distribution was $66.0B (32%) and transmission $37.6B (18%), together about half of the total.
against this

The 2025 actual of $204.1B came in below EEI's own September 2025 projection of $207.9B, so the association's projections have run ahead of spending. The Census Bureau's measure of power construction actually put in place grew only 3.6% in the first seven months of 2026 (C31). And investor-owned utilities are not all of Quanta's utility customers - cooperatives, municipal utilities and power developers sit outside EEI's figure.

The chief executive said on the Q2 2026 call that Quanta self-performs 80% to 85% of its work; that 'the electric segment has the ability to operate 10 to 12 on the utility side, 12 would be the utmost margins that you would see'; that on the utility side 'we have ratepayers... It's very much regulated'; and that technology is '15% of the business... call it, 15% to 20%'.
against this

The margin ceiling is his own and it cuts against the price rather than for it: an Electric segment at its 'utmost' 12% with corporate costs at 2025's 4.0% of revenue gives a consolidated operating margin near 8%, far below the 12.2% the price implies at a peer multiple (C11). The technology figure is verbal and unaudited; the only filed number is 13% for 2025.
