Dycom Industries' shares rallied ahead of the opening bell after the provider of specialty contracting services to the U.S. telecommunications infrastructure and utility's quarterly earnings topped market expectations.

In premarket trading on Wednesday, the shares were 9.4% higher after ending the previous session at $154.40, up 34% so far in 2024.

Dycom recorded a rise in fiscal first-quarter net income to $62.6 million, or $2.12 a share, against $51.5 million, or $1.73, a year earlier. That was well ahead of the $1.47 a share analysts polled by FactSet anticipated.

Contract revenue for the three month through April 27 was 9.3% higher at $1.14 billion, beating the $1.09 billion expected by analysts.

For the current quarter, the company said it expects organic contract revenue to grow by high-single digits as a percentage of contract revenue.
