IESC IES Holdings, Inc.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
IES Holdings reported Q2 fiscal 2026 revenue of $974M (+17% YoY) and operating income of $112.3M (+21% YoY), but GAAP diluted EPS of $5.44 and adjusted diluted EPS of $4.16 both missed the single-analyst consensus of $3.95 (the consensus appears to be for adjusted EPS, making the miss ~5.3%). The Communications and Infrastructure Solutions segments drove growth on data center demand, while Residential revenue fell 10% YoY. Backlog surged 62% since fiscal year-end to $3.9B, and the company raised its capital spending outlook, signaling confidence in organic growth.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The adjusted EPS miss vs consensus may pressure the stock near-term, but the massive backlog growth (+62% to $3.9B) and raised capex outlook for data center-driven organic growth are strong forward indicators. Watch for Q3 margin trajectory in Residential and the ramp of Infrastructure Solutions capacity in H2 fiscal 2026.
