In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS) topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 46% while revenues missed the same by 6.3%. On a year-over-year basis, both metrics grew 55.3% and 7%, respectively.
Fluor’s earnings topped the consensus mark in two of the trailing four quarters and missed on the remaining two occasions, with a negative average surprise of 0.5%.
Trend in FLR’s Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s second-quarter EPS has remained unchanged at 59 cents over the past 60 days. The estimated figure indicates a 30.6% year-over-year decline from 85 cents.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.82 billion, indicating a rise of 13.9% from $4.23 billion reported in the year-ago quarter.
Factors Likely to Shape Fluor’s Q2 Results
Revenues
Fluor’s top-line performance, during the quarter to be reported, is expected to have been driven by the robust demand trends for infrastructure projects across data centers, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, energy transition, fuel production, and mining and metals. Moreover, continued strength in environmental remediation and national security is also likely to have been incremental for the quarter’s uptrend.
These robust market trends are likely to have resulted in the increased contributions from the company’s Urban Solutions (comprising 54.2% of first-quarter 2025 total revenues) and Mission Solutions (comprising 15% of first-quarter 2025 total revenues) segments, even if year-over-year comparisons for the Energy Solutions (comprising 30.3% of first-quarter 2025 total revenues) segment are likely to have been on the softer side.
Segment-wise, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Urban Solutions segment’s revenues is currently pegged at $2.47 billion, indicating an increase of 35% from $1.83 billion in the year-ago period. The consensus mark for the Mission Solutions segment’s revenues of $718 million indicates year-over-year growth of 2%. However, the consensus mark for the Energy Solutions segment’s revenues of $1.53 billion implies a decline of 4.4% from $1.6 billion a year ago.
Although FLR faces risks from potential project delays and cancellations, the reduced proportion of this headwind is likely to have been beneficial alongside new award wins. Besides, its effective execution of the "Building a Better Future" strategy and its diversified presence in the market are likely to have supported its prospects amid the lingering macro uncertainties.
Earnings
Fluor’s bottom line is expected to have declined year over year during the second quarter because of unfavorable currency translation, tariff-related ambiguity and lingering inflationary pressures. Volatility in commodity prices and the cyclical nature of its commodity-based business lines are likely to have posed significant challenges to its profitability during the quarter.
Although Fluor’s strategy of ensuring cost-plus/low-risk bookings and increased execution activities with reduced project delays and cancellations is its support system, the ongoing macro uncertainties have been taking a toll on its margins.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment profits of Urban Solutions, Energy Solutions and Mission Solutions is pegged at $79 million, $61 million and $36 million, indicating year-over-year declines from $105 million, $75 million and $41 million, respectively.
