The Point for North America

US Engineering & Construction - 2Q26 E&C Preview – E&C Growth Cycle Still

Durable

While we expect 2Q26 commentary across E&C to remain broadly constructive

given healthy end-market trends, we remain selective and prefer companies with

the clearest exposure to visible capex cycles and “self-help” potential. PWR and

MTZ remain our preferred ideas, with strong order/backlog momentum and

potential positive EPS revisions supporting further stock upside. We also like J

(where we open a +ve CW) given its exposure to fast growing advanced

manufacturing and other durable infrastructure end markets that should lead to

strong 2H26 backlog/revenue growth and margin expansion. While we sense some

concerns on data center capex (moderation/project bottlenecks), we believe that

structural growth-trends across AI/data centers remain intact and continue to

view increasing AI-adoption, load growth, electrification, and industrial reshoring

as durable drivers of multi-year investment activity, supporting bookings across

E&C end markets. “Self-help” through disciplined/improving operational

execution as well as strategic M&A and share repurchases should augment EPS

growth.
