Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Q3 EPS jumped 54% YoY to $1.88, fueled by strong infrastructure demand, lower costs and margin discipline.
Upgraded 2025 EPS outlook of $5.35-$5.55 highlights confidence in sustained growth and operational efficiency.
Federal incentives and rising project backlog position PRIM to outperform peers like MTZ and J into 2026.
Primoris Services Corporation (PRIM - Free Report) has been witnessing robust demand trends across power delivery, gas operations, communications, renewable energy and industrial markets. Continued favor from the increased public infrastructure spending is fueling this fire. These favorable fundamentals have not only boosted the firm’s top-line growth but also ensured bottom-line scale, despite existing inflationary pressures.
PRIM ended the third quarter of 2025 with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.88, which were up 54.1% from $1.22 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. This incremental growth was favored by increased leverage from revenue growth, alongside lower interest expense and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses because of its cost control efforts. The consolidated revenues in the quarter grew year over year by 32.1%, while the interest and SG&A expenses decreased by 61.1% and 0.4%, respectively.

Notably, the passing of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is currently acting as a catalyst for the ongoing market trends. The act highlights tax incentives like bonus depreciation across infrastructure investments and allocates about $150 billion of mandatory defense spending. This strategic move is in favor of Primoris Services as it has enabled its customers to have a substantial volume of projects lined up for the next few years. The prospective backlog growth trends are indeed favorable for PRIM’s bottom-line growth in the near and long term.
Thus, owing to the robust market trends and its effective cost control measures, PRIM moved up its 2025 adjusted EPS outlook to the range of $5.35-$5.55, up from the previously expected range of $4.90-$5.10. The revised estimated range compares favorably with the adjusted EPS of $3.87 reported in 2024.
