Everus Construction Group, Inc.

ECG
Industrials · Engineering & Construction

Everus Construction Group, Inc.'s three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.

Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 72nd percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (20 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 72nd percentile of its own 2-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +50.0% year on year, and 102% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Everus Construction Group, Inc. trades at $117, in a confirmed uptrend and 20 weeks into that stage. That is +1.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 50% of a 52-week range of $71 to $163. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (5 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 20 of stage 2. At $117 it trades +1.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 50% of its 52-week range ($71–$163).

Jul 26: $117 Weekly closing price ($) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 2-year window.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2024 Each cell is one week from 2024 to now (92 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the S&P 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the S&P 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the S&P 500
Nov 24Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1.7 years the stock moved +123% while the S&P 500 moved +30% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (5 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-26) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: the P/E sits at the 72nd percentile of its own range.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.

Everus Construction Group, Inc. trades at 26.8× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (72nd percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 24.1×, measured across 1.7 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 26.8× is at the pricey end of its own range (72nd percentile), against a long-run median of 24.1× measured over 1.7 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

PEG 0.58 PEG ratio per quarter — the P/E divided by the earnings-growth rate. The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 4 quarters.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +40.6% against a +59.4% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.

03 · Stage: Mixed

Stage: Mixed Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Everus Construction Group, Inc. reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE lifting at 31.2% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

Growth, year by year: revenue +31.6% in FY25, profit +42.9% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

65.6/100 — rank 4 of 30 in Engineering & Construction · 82% evidence confidence

Everus Construction Group, Inc. scores 65.6 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Engineering & Construction, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 25.5 + 14.7 + 15.2 + 10.2 = 65.6. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Everus Construction Group, Inc. reported $1.0 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +25.3% year on year. That is the 7th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 16.3% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $3.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $4.0 B.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +30.0% growth against the decade's 16.3% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +29.8% over the last 4 quarters against +20.2%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +53.3% vs +23.8%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 7.7% this quarter (+1.7 pp YoY).

06 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Everus Construction Group, Inc.'s operating margin is 7.7% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.7 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.9% to 7.3%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

Everus Construction Group, Inc.'s operating margin is 7.7% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.7 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.9% to 7.3%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 7.7%, +1.7 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.9%–7.3%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +1.7 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.7 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +50.0% in the latest quarter.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Everus Construction Group, Inc. earned $0.1 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +50.0% year on year. It is the 5th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.2 B. The 4-year compound rate is 16.1%. That is 5.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +25.3% and the margin +1.7 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +56.3% vs revenue +30.0%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 102% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

08 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 102% of Everus Construction Group, Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.2 B of operating cash against $0.2 B of profit. After $0.1 B of capital spending, $0.1 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.2 B against reported profit of $0.2 B, leaving free cash of $0.1 B after $0.1 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 102% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY25: CFO $0.2 B vs profit $0.2 B Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, $ B; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 5-year window, annual resolution.

Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.

Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: $0.0 B of building over 3 years.

09 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Everus Construction Group, Inc. does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $0.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.0% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.

On the investment side: capital spending of $0.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.

FY25: capex $0.1 B Capital spending per fiscal year, $ B (bars).

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROE is 39%.

10 · Return on equity

Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.

Everus Construction Group, Inc. earns a ROE of 32% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 31% in FY23. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 5.3% net margin on 2.17× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is 32%, recovered from a FY23 trough of 31% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 5.3% net margin × 2.17× asset turns × 2.75× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 31.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.53.

11 · Dividend

Dividend

Everus Construction Group, Inc. pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.

Everus Construction Group, Inc. does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.

→ No payout to follow. The cash question becomes what the business does with what it earns instead.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Everus Construction Group, Inc.: the Z-score reads 5.57. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 5.57 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 5.57.

Related companies · same industry · Engineering & Construction Every company is compared on the shape of its own curves, not static ratios. The Revenue, EPS and ROCE columns each draw that company's last 12 quarters as a mini line of the ACTUAL level (trailing-twelve-month revenue and EPS, and the ROCE itself) — so a line that climbs is a business getting bigger, a line that sinks is one shrinking. The colour tracks the same line: green when it is rising or steadily healthy, amber when it is rolling over from a high (still elevated but turning down), red when it is falling, grey when flat or stuck. Colour and direction always agree — a green line never points down. The ROCE curve is the return on capital (annual readings for peers, so a slightly coarser line than the quarterly one at the top of this page). The Stage column then runs the same 12-quarter trajectory classifier used at the top of the page on each company and names where it sits. What lands a company in each bucket: CONSISTENT — growth stays positive across the window and returns are healthy (ROCE ≥ 15%, or ROE ≥ 12% for lenders); IMPROVING — profit or EPS fell into real decline, bottomed a few quarters back, and has climbed back to positive and held there; TURNING AROUND — the same kind of trough but more recent, with the latest quarters just lifting off it (an early, unconfirmed turn); TOPPING OUT — growth is still positive but decelerating hard from its own peak while returns have stopped rising; DETERIORATING — two or more growth curves are shrinking (latest below zero) and staying there, not one soft quarter; MIXED — the curves genuinely disagree, or no clean majority, so no single word fits; NO READ — fewer than eight usable quarters. It is a like-for-like read of every company against its own past, not a ranking against the group.
