On June 10, Sterling Construction Company declined 5.23% in regular trading, trading at $796.11/share, with trading volume of $126 million. The stock has now fallen sharply from its recent high of $1,004.95 reached on June 5.
On the news front, concerns that elevated interest rates may slow debt-driven artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout have continued to weigh on data center supply chain stocks. Sterling, which derives over 20% operating margins from its data center site development business, has been particularly affected by this sentiment shift. The broader Construction and Engineering sector saw widespread declines, with Primoris down 9.57%, Quanta down 5.38%, MasTec down 4.08%, EMCOR down 3.90%, and Comfort Systems down 3.50%.
Despite completing the acquisition of Stone Ridge Contracting on June 9 to expand its E-Infrastructure business into the Pacific Northwest with expected revenue of $180 million, the stock failed to hold gains as sector-wide selling pressure persisted.
