EMCOR reported solid first-quarter 2022 results wherein earnings and revenues topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate and grew year over year. Its U.S. Construction segments drove another quarter of solid top-line growth, up 13.8% year over year, driven by the U.S. Electrical Construction segment, which delivered revenue growth of 23.5%. Strong demand for its services across several resilient non-residential market sectors and strength in the U.S. segments drove organic revenue growth by 10.1%. Resilient end markets, solid RPOs and acquisitions (two acquisitions in the quarter) are additional tailwinds. Earnings estimates for 2023 increased in the past seven days, depicting analysts’ optimism over the company’s prospects. However, higher fuel and material costs, supply-chain delays and high inflationary pressures are headwinds.
