Dycom Beat on Earnings Again in the Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter
On Nov 19, 2025, Dycom reported its Fiscal 2026 third quarter results and beat on the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the 7th quarter in a row. Earnings were a record $3.63 compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.15. That’s a beat of $0.48.
The company beat even its own third quarter guidance, which had been $3.03 to $3.36.
Dycom has only missed one time since 2021 and that was in early 2024.
It was a record quarter in many areas.
Dycom saw record contract revenue, up 14.1%, to $1.45 billion from $1.27 billion last year. On an organic basis, contract revenue rose 7.2%, excluding contract revenue from acquired companies that were not owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year quarters.
“The demand drivers for telecommunications and digital infrastructure have never been stronger, fueled by accelerating fiber builds, a massive ramp-up in data center needs, and the much-anticipated arrival of BEAD,” said Dan Peyovich, Dycom’s President and CEO.
It had strong operating cash flows of $220 million.
As of Oct 25, 2025, Dycom had a record backlog of $8.2 billion, up from $8 billion as of July 26, 2025.
Dycom Raised the Mid-Point of its Fiscal 2026 Outlook
Dycom is bullish on the rest of the year given its record third quarter. It increased the midpoint of its revenue outlook for the year. Contract revenues are now expected to be in the range of $5.35 billion to $5.425 billion, representing a range of 13.8% to 15.4% total growth over last year.
It also gave fourth quarter earnings guidance of a range of $1.62 to $1.97, which was higher than the Zacks Consensus of $1.34.
As a result, the analysts have raised both the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2026 and 2027 earnings estimates.
3 estimates were raised for fiscal 2026 in the last week. It has pushed the Zacks Consensus to $10.48 from $10.01 in that period. That’s earnings growth of 14.5%.
1 estimate was also raised for fiscal 2027 in the last week as well. The Fiscal 2027 Zacks Consensus is now looking for $12.78, up from $10.62. That’s earnings growth of 22%.

The shares aren’t cheap with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 32.5.
But with double digit growth, Dycom has a PEG ratio of just 1.78. A PEG under 1.0 means a company has both value and growth but 1.78 is also low.
It also has a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of just 1.9. A P/S ratio under 1.0 means a company is undervalued, but 1.9 is also cheap, especially compared to the technology companies involved in the AI revolution which are trading with P/S ratios above 10. A ratio above 10 is considered to be expensive.
For investors looking for an AI Revolution play that is involved with the AI infrastructure, Dycom Industries should be on your short list.
