On August 7, Fluor surged 17.66% in regular trading, trading at $57.38 per share, with turnover of $206 million. The rally was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release, which significantly exceeded market expectations.
Fluor reported Q2 adjusted earnings of $0.91 per diluted share, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $0.70 by 30% and representing a 111.63% increase from $0.43 in the same period a year earlier. Revenue came in at $4.33 billion, surpassing the $3.92 billion estimate and rising 8.8% year-over-year from $3.98 billion. The strong results mark a dramatic reversal from Q1, when adjusted EPS of $0.14 missed the $0.62 consensus by 77%, causing shares to drop 7% in pre-market trading.
The earnings turnaround comes amid a period of active contract wins for Fluor, including engineering work for a Texas refinery, a nuclear project with X-energy, a uranium enrichment expansion contract with Centrus Energy, and a feasibility study for the Donlin Gold project in Alaska.
