Stock Track12-05 09:18

Argan's (AGX) stock plummeted 11.05% in post-market trading following the release of its third-quarter fiscal 2026 results, which revealed a revenue miss compared to analyst expectations.

The industrial contractor reported Q3 revenue of $251.2 million, a 2.3% year-over-year decline and below the consensus estimate of $263.84 million. The revenue shortfall was attributed to the completion of two major projects (an LNG project in Louisiana and the Trumbull Energy Center in Ohio), which had previously driven significant revenue. Newly awarded contracts are still in early construction phases, contributing limited revenue.

Despite the revenue miss, Argan's net income rose to $30.7 million from $28.0 million year-over-year, and the company reported a record backlog of $3.0 billion. However, the stock's high valuation (39x forward P/E) may have amplified the negative market reaction to the revenue disappointment.
