Fluor Corp shifts to reimbursable contracts and AI, boosting backlog and earnings outlook.

Fluor Corporation is undergoing a multi-year turnaround by shifting its business model to focus on reimbursable contracts, which now make up 85% of its $27 billion backlog. This reduces the risks associated with fixed-price contracts and improves earnings visibility. The company is also leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance project execution and margins. With a market cap of $7.3 billion and a forward P/E of about 15x, Fluor is strategically positioned in high-demand sectors like nuclear, data centers, and defense, offering potential upside if backlog converts to stronger margins and cash flow.
