Quanta Services is a significant provider of specialized infrastructure solutions for the electric power, renewable energy, and communications sectors. Its business is supported by secular growth trends, including grid modernization and the energy transition, providing it with a strong competitive position in North American utility services. While the company has a history of high margins and effective growth through strategic acquisitions, its reliance on heavy capital investment and field labor creates inherent operational risks. The stock may appeal to growth-oriented investors looking for exposure to essential infrastructure, though investors should monitor project execution, labor availability, and shifting regulatory environments.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
PWR receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PWR has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+13.7%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.7%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin 3.6%), very low insider ownership of 0.67%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PWR's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.6B (5.7% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is PWR's strongest growth driver at +19.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). Earnings growth (+13.7%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+9.7%, moderate) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 94.1% and approximately 99.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.67%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

JPMorgan Chase & Co 3.53%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PWR generates approximately $130 of gross profit, $58 of operating income, and $57 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with solid cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 26.18%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
PWR has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
