Willdan's stock experienced a significant after-hours plunge of 6.35% on Thursday, following the release of the company's financial results and outlook.
The company reported strong fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, with Q4 net income surging 143.4% to USD 18.7 million and full-year adjusted diluted EPS reaching USD 4.89, representing a 101.2% increase. Management cited double-digit organic growth and strategic acquisitions, with AI and data centers driving electricity demand and grid complexity.
However, investors appeared disappointed by the company's 2026 outlook, which projects adjusted diluted EPS in the range of USD 4.50 to USD 4.70. This guidance falls below the USD 4.89 achieved in 2025, suggesting potential earnings pressure despite revenue growth targets of USD 390 million to USD 405 million for the coming year.
