Sterling Infrastructure posts 90% sales growth, raises 2026 guidance amid strong data center shift

Sterling Infrastructure shifted focus from low-margin highways to high-growth data center infrastructure, leading to a 90% sales increase and 116% rise in adjusted EPS for Q2 2026. The company also reported a 116% backlog increase and raised its full-year revenue guidance to $4.00–4.15 billion with about $20 EPS. Despite recent stock pullbacks, the company is rated a Buy due to strong backlog, net cash, and analyst upgrades, though sector risks and volatility remain. This transformation highlights Sterling's successful pivot to higher-margin markets driving robust growth and profitability.
