On October 29, Sterling Construction fell 5.37% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $368.8 per share, with turnover of $955,600.
The move followed the company’s latest quarterly results for the September quarter, which showed EPS of $3.33, well below the previously expected $5.63, undermining the market’s earlier high-growth earnings narrative.
In the run-up to the report, consensus had pointed to revenue of about $1.191 billion, up 72.79% year over year, and EPS growth of 89.63%. Earlier reports had highlighted strong prior-quarter momentum, including $1.168 billion in revenue, up 90.11%, and adjusted EPS of $5.00, up 116.45%. The latest earnings miss therefore appears to be the clearest direct catalyst behind the pre-market weakness.
