An Overview of EMCOR Group's Earnings

The company recently reported that it has 693 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.93% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.

$100 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth $1,800 Today

Each week,&nbsp;Benzinga&#8217;s Stock Whisper Index&nbsp;uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-whisper-index" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">surface and deserve attention</a>.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.
Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week of Sept. 27:
Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>): A chipmaker specializing in power management systems saw shares trade higher on the week and interest increase after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MPWR/analyst-ratings">raised price target </a>from Stifel. 
The analyst maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $1,000 to $1,100. 
Monolithic <a href="https://www.monolithicpower.com/media/investor-relations/press-releases/Q2_2024_Earnings_Release.pdf">reported </a>second-quarter financial results in August. In the second quarter, revenue was up 15.0% year-over-year to $507.4 million. CEO Michael Hsing highlighted that the results showed the company's transformation from being just a chip supplier "to a full solutions provider."
Monolithic shares were up 3.3% over the last five trading days, as seen on the <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent092724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below, and are up 53.5% year-to-date in 2024.

EMCOR Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EME#NYSE">EME</a>): The electrical and manufacturing construction and facilities services provider gained interest from readers over the week, which could be related to upcoming earnings or the recent Fed rate cut. 
The company is set to report third-quarter financial results in October. Analysts expect the company to report revenue of $3.77 billion and earnings per share of $4.98, up from $3.21 billion and $3.61, respectively, in last year's third quarter. 
EMCOR Group has beaten analyst revenue estimates in 16 straight quarters and earnings per share estimates in nine straight quarters. The recent interest rate cut could prove beneficial to the company as this could lead to increased spending by the private sector.
EMCOR shares were down 2% over the last five trading days, but remain up over 50% year-to-date.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall.

EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eme#NYSE">EME</a>) shares reached a new 52-week high of $437.10 on Friday. The stock pulled back to end the trading session at $435.60, gaining 1.3% that day. Impressively, the stock marked a 9.9% surge in the past five days.
The move came in after the most awaited interest rate cut news, which boosted the overall market sentiments. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced an interest rate cut by 50 cents to a range of 4.75% to 5%. Reduced interest rates can have a highly supportive effect on infrastructure stocks, benefiting from cheaper financing, increased government and private sector investment, higher appeal for dividend-seeking investors, and potential growth in related sectors like real estate.
In the year-to-date period (YTD), the stock surged more than 104%, handily outpacing the Zacks Building Products - Heavy Construction industry&#39;s 79.9% growth, the broader Construction sector&#39;s 22.6% rise and the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 19.6% increase.

Let&#39;s delve deeper into the factors substantiating this Fortune 500 company&#39;s resilience, which currently captures around $17 billion of total market share.
<h2>Solid Diversified Business</h2>
EMCOR has established itself as a leader in mechanical and electrical construction, industrial infrastructure, and building services. Its focus on these specialized sectors has positioned the company to dominate markets requiring expert solutions.
A key strength of EME is its investment in Virtual Design and Construction&nbsp;technologies, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), which helps the company design and coordinate complex projects. This technology also enhances its prefabrication processes, enabling customized fabrication for electrical, sheet metal, fire sprinkler, and piping systems, thus improving efficiency and competitiveness.
With the growing emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability, EMCOR is well-positioned to benefit from the increased demand for HVAC and lighting retrofits, as well as building automation services. The Mechanical Services division, which generates nearly 65% of EMCOR&#39;s total revenues, plays a crucial role in meeting this demand and driving the company&#39;s success.
The company also expands in high-growth sectors and geographies via acquisitions. In the first half of 2024, EMCOR acquired four companies. The acquired companies are set to strengthen their Mechanical Construction, Building Services and Industrial Services segments, positioning them well for future growth.
<h2>EME&#39;s High RPO Levels May Boost Growth</h2>
EMCOR reported remaining performance obligations (RPOs) of $9 billion at end of second-quarter 2024, reflecting an 8.6% year-over-year increase. This near-record RPO level highlights a robust pipeline of future projects, particularly in sectors like data centers, high-tech manufacturing, healthcare, and water/wastewater.
RPOs in the network and communications sector, which includes data centers, reached a record $1.7 billion, marking 40% year-over-year growth. This surge emphasizes EMCOR&#39;s strong position in the expanding data center market, indicating significant future revenue potential.
<h2>Strong Cash Flow</h2>
The company generated $412 million in operating cash flow in the first six months of 2024, almost double the amount from the prior-year period. This strong cash flow supports the company&#39;s ability to fund growth initiatives, pursue acquisitions, and return capital to shareholders.
EMCOR invests in expanding prefabrication and VDC technologies, including BIM, automation, and robotics, while also engaging in various M&amp;A activities. Additionally, the company provides impressive returns to its stockholders through share repurchases and dividends. In 2024, EMCOR increased its quarterly dividend by 39% to 25 cents.
<h2>Obstacles Hindering EME&#39;s Growth Trajectory</h2>
EMCOR has faced difficulties in the commercial real estate market due to reduced demand and the completion of several projects. The U.S. and U.K. site-based services businesses, particularly in the U.S. Building Services segment, have experienced revenue setbacks, mainly due to the non-renewal of certain contracts in the last reported quarter.
In addition to sector-specific challenges, EMCOR is exposed to risks from fluctuating global energy markets and supply-chain disruptions. These factors could limit infrastructure investments and increase project costs, creating obstacles to the company&#39;s growth prospects.
<h2>Valuation, Return &amp; Growth Trend</h2>
EMCOR&#39;s shares are currently overvalued marginally. Its forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 22.27 is above its five-year median of 16.23 and the industry&#39;s average of 21.66 currently.
EME provides solid investment returns compared to the industry&#39;s average, as reflected by its current trailing 12-month Return on Equity of 32.7%. This indicates the company efficiently uses its shareholders&#39; funds.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EME&#39;s earnings has moved up in the past 60 days, indicating analysts are showing confidence in the stock. Over the last 60 days, forecasts for 2024 and 2025 have increased to $19.50 (from $16.10) and $19.59 (from $17.41), respectively.
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
EMCOR&#39;s focus on advanced technologies and sustainability, robust capital allocation strategy, and strong financial performance make it a must-buy for investors looking for good long-term gain. Also, Fed&#39;s rate cut is likely to bolster the infrastructure market by lowering borrowing costs, enhancing project viability, encouraging investment, and stimulating economic growth.
However, some industry headwinds and a high valuation depict a risk to the sustainability of its current price if the company&#39;s future performance does not meet investors&#39; expectations.
We believe its impressive business structure, as well as economic rebound, will help the company generate higher earnings in coming quarters. Additionally, solid return and future earnings expectations reinforce its Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) rating, making EMCOR an attractive addition to investors&#39; portfolio at present.

<h2>What&#39;s Supporting MTZ Stock&#39;s Outperformance?</h2>
Strong Outlook for 2024: MasTec&#39;s robust 18-month backlog of $13.3 billion provides strong visibility into 2024. The company raised its full-year guidance, expecting consolidated revenues of $12.4 billion (prior expected $12.55 billion), up from $12 billion year over year. Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be $975 million, an increase from $860.3 million in 2023, with a margin improvement of 7.9% (up from 7.8% expected earlier and 7.2% reported in 2023).
Adjusted earnings per share are forecasted to be $3.03, up from $1.97 expected earlier. The Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment is expected to increase 10% in 2024, reaching $4.4 billion in revenues, with continued growth anticipated beyond 2024.
Solid Backlog Poses Strength for Future: As of June 30, 2024, MasTec&#39;s Clean Energy and Infrastructure backlog increased 10.3% year over year and 4.6% sequentially, with a 1.2x book-to-bill ratio, providing strong visibility into future projects. The Power Delivery segment saw a 12% year-over-year increase and a 20% sequential growth in backlog, highlighted by a major 700-mile high-voltage transmission project starting in 2025. This project, one of the largest in the United States, will generate $300-$500 million annually through 2028, positioning the segment for strong growth.
The Communications segment saw a 1.7% sequential increase and 8.8% year-over-year backlog growth, with revenues expected to rise 4.5% in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margins remain strong in the high single digits.
The company is optimistic about its growth opportunities. The robust demand for its services suggests the potential for double-digit revenues and earnings growth in 2025 and beyond. Despite short-term pressure in the power delivery segment, the long-term outlook is improving significantly. Meanwhile, the company continues to experience strong demand in both renewables and infrastructure projects. Based on anticipated bookings, it is well-positioned for substantial growth in 2025.

Expanding Communications Pipeline: MasTec has deepened its relationship with AT&amp;T, its largest wireless client, as AT&amp;T expanded the scope and geographic reach of MasTec&#39;s core wireless services, in addition to a maintenance contract secured in the third quarter of 2023. This, combined with AT&amp;T&#39;s plan to replace Nokia equipment with Ericsson over the next five years, is expected to significantly boost MasTec&#39;s wireless business. The impact will start in the second half of 2024, with segment revenues expected to grow by double digits in 2025.
MasTec is positioned for nearly 20% organic revenue growth in the second half of 2024. Additionally, the growing demand for wireline services and the anticipated Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program funding provide long-term visibility. New customers, including private equity-backed entrants, are showing strong interest in MasTec&#39;s comprehensive solutions, enhancing its growth prospects in 2025 and beyond.
Strategic Acquisitions &amp; Equity Investments: MasTec remains focused on bolt-on acquisitions, completing four in 2023 and five in 2022. Additionally, it holds equity stakes in several telecommunications entities that provide construction services to the company.
As of March 31, 2024, MasTec had $22 million in total investments, including $18 million for FM Tech. It also holds 49% equity interests in entities within its Communications and Power Delivery segments, with a $3 million investment and a 75% equity stake in Confluence Networks, LLC, an undersea fiber-optic systems developer, totaling $2.5 million.
<h2>Other Parameters Reflecting MTZ&#39;s Solid Growth Prospect</h2>
Analysts are showing confidence in the stock, as indicated by recent upward revisions in earnings estimates. Over the last 60 days, forecasts for 2024 and 2025 have increased to $3.02 (from $2.94) and $4.35 (from $4.33), respectively.
The company also has a solid earnings surprise history. Its EPS surpassed the consensus estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on one occasion, with the average surprise being 19.4%. Notably, the company currently has a VGM Score of A, which signifies that MTZ has solid growth prospects and the potential to outperform the market in the near term.
These positive trends signify bullish analysts&#39; sentiments, indicating robust fundamentals and the expectation of continued outperformance in the near term.
<h2>Is MasTec a Smart Investment Choice Today?</h2>
In the competitive non-residential services sector, MasTec, a leading infrastructure construction company with an $8.75 billion market cap, distinguishes itself. MTZ is strategically situated to capitalize on converging trends, providing multiple paths for near-and-long-term profitable growth. Its diversified portfolio with significant growth potential in all segments makes the stock the best investment option at the moment.
Also, upward revisions in earnings estimates reinforce its Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) rating, making MTZ an attractive addition to investors&#39; portfolios at present.
