Primoris' (PRIM) $260M Solar Deal to Aid Energy/Renewables Arm
Read MoreHide Full Article
Shares of Primoris Services Corporation (PRIM - Free Report) gained 5.53% in the after-hours trading session on Jun 23 after the announcement of a solar project contract. The contract, worth $260 million, was won by the Energy/Renewables segment.
This engineering, procurement and construction services work for a utility-scale solar facility in the South will begin in third-quarter 2022 and is expected to finish in fourth-quarter 2023.
Tom McCormick, president and chief executive officer of PRIM, stated, “The organic growth of our utility-scale solar business is one measure of the success of our energy transition strategy. With over 3,200 megawatts of solar power projects under construction currently in 2022, Primoris ranks as one of the leading EPC contractors in the space. This contract brings our year-to-date total of new solar business to more than half of a billion dollars.”
Energy/Renewables’ Continuous Contract Flow: A Boon
Primoris — a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company — has been reaping benefits from strong project execution under the Energy/Renewables segment, which accounts for 45.8% of first-quarter revenues. In May, Primoris won two solar projects worth $130 million and $120 million. In April, it received two projects with a combined value of more than $155 million in Texas and Florida.
It is to be noted that solar projects continue to drive the Energy/Renewables segment. This segment’s revenues increased 2%, backed by increased renewable energy activity, partially offset by lower activity on industrial projects in 2022. Segment’s total backlog at March-end was $2,433 million compared with $1,386 million a year ago.
