EMCOR’s shares increased as it reported solid third-quarter 2022 results. Its earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.4% and 4.2% and increased 16.8% and 12.1% year over year, respectively. Organic revenues were up 10.8%, driven by double-digit revenue growth across the U.S. Construction and U.S. Building Services segments. Strong demand across geographies and end-markets served and disciplined project executions are tailwinds. The U.S. Mechanical and Electrical Construction segments continued to display strength, backed by higher project activity. Resilient end markets, solid RPOs and bolt-on acquisitions are also gaining traction. Yet, margins remained under pressure due to supply chain issues and energy and raw material-related costs.

The stock has jumped 8.20% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 3 higher, for fiscal 2022; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
