Legence Corp.'s stock soared 6% in pre-market trading on Thursday, as investors reacted to the company's first-quarter financial results.
The company reported revenue of $1,040 million for Q1 2026, significantly exceeding analyst expectations of $930.10 million. However, earnings per share came in at $0.13, below the anticipated $0.17. Net income for the quarter was $16.1 million.
