Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways

Dycom expects the deal to be immediately accretive to EBITDA margins, EPS, and free cash flow.
DY adds a data center-focused business with ~15% revenue CAGR and a backlog exceeding $1B.
Dycom Industries Inc. (DY - Free Report) has completed its previously announced acquisition of Power Solutions, LLC, a leading Mid-Atlantic electrical contractor serving data centers, for approximately $1.63 billion in cash and about 1.0 million shares of Dycom common stock. The transaction was announced on Nov. 19, 2025. The company has also updated its existing credit agreement to support the transaction.
Power Solutions positions Dycom at the center of accelerating demand for digital infrastructure. The acquisition combines Power Solutions’ leadership in electrical infrastructure with Dycom’s scale and fiber expertise, strengthening the company’s ability to capitalize on powerful secular growth trends in digital infrastructure services.
Following the news, shares of DY gained 0.6% in after-hours trading yesterday.
DY’s Financially Accretive Transaction
This transaction creates meaningful financial value for DY and is expected to be immediately accretive to adjusted EBITDA margins and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), while improving free cash flow. DY’s long-term financial discipline remains intact, and the combined company is expected to reduce net leverage to around 2x within 12 to 18 months. The acquisition further diversifies services by adding Power Solutions’ electrical contracting capabilities, supports cross-selling across digital infrastructure markets, and expands execution capacity with more than 2,800 skilled employees.
Power Solutions is a leading provider of mission-critical electrical infrastructure for data centers and other essential industries in the Washington, D.C.–Maryland–Virginia (DMV) region, the world’s largest data center market. The company is a strong financial fit, with a 15% four-year revenue CAGR, EBITDA margins in the mid- to high teens and expected 2025 revenue of about $1 billion. The business is high quality, immediately accretive, and supported by a backlog exceeding $1 billion in the DMV region.
DY’s Inorganic Efforts
As demonstrated by its recent acquisitions, strategic M&A remains a key pillar of Dycom’s growth strategy, complementing organic growth while expanding the company’s reach into new markets and product categories. During the third-quarter earnings call, management emphasized Dycom’s long-standing acquisition strategy, supported by a well-established integration model that enables seamless onboarding of acquired businesses. This approach preserves the culture and local leadership of acquired companies while leveraging Dycom’s scale, financial strength, and operational expertise.
Dycom has a strong track record of successful integrations. Most recently, the company completed the acquisition of Black & Veatch’s public-carrier wireless infrastructure business in fiscal 2025, strengthening its wireless construction capabilities and expanding its footprint in several high-demand markets.
The company remains confident in its long-term growth prospects, supported by sustained demand for fiber infrastructure, robust activity from long-standing carrier partners, and accelerating demand from leading hyperscalers that continues to drive cost efficiencies and margin expansion. However, seasonality risks and tariff-related uncertainties may pose risks to project costs and planning in the upcoming period.
