On November 4, Primoris rose 8.4% in After-Hours Trading, trading at $86.2812 per share, with turnover of $4.4141 million.
The move followed the company’s latest quarterly report, in which adjusted EPS came in at $1.20, well above the $0.78 consensus estimate, while revenue was $1.952 billion versus the $2.000 billion estimate.
Background context shows the profit beat stood out because Primoris had previously posted an adjusted loss of $0.27 per share in the prior quarter and had lowered its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $2.05 to $2.60 amid cost overruns and project delays in its renewable energy business. Although third-quarter revenue missed expectations, the sharp earnings outperformance appears to be the direct catalyst behind the after-hours rise.
