MYR Group Stock: On the Grid Since 1891, Up 171 Percent in a Year — and Its Own Buyback Program Expired Unused

MYR Group has been wiring America since 1891 — high-voltage lines, substations, data centers. In our in-house stock scanner, the stock lights up 22 filters at once, from the stage-2 trend to a perfect Piotroski F-Score of 9 (data as of July 10, 2026; momentum run of July 17, 2026). We read the annual reports (10-K) for 2024 and 2025 and the quarterly report (10-Q) as of March 31, 2026: a record year with $3.66 billion in revenue, a 2024 margin accident on solar job sites, 57 percent fixed-price contracts — and a $75 million repurchase program that expired unused while the stock nearly tripled. Not investment advice — just the note that management last bought its own shares around $117 and has kept its hands in its pockets since.

Neutral

Geprüft am 17.07.2026 gegen die Geschäftsberichte (10-K) für 2025 (eingereicht 25.02.2026) und 2024 (26.02.2025) sowie die vier jüngsten Quartalsberichte (10-Q, zum 31.03.2026, 30.09.2025, 30.06.2025 und 31.03.2025): In den ausgewerteten SEC-Filings von MYR Group findet sich kein wesentlicher eigener KI-Bezug. Die einzige wiederkehrende Erwähnung von „artificial intelligence“ ist ein Nachfrage-Argument im Ausblick — der Stromhunger neuer Technologien („including the emergence and adoption of artificial intelligence technologies“) werde erhebliche Investitionen der Kunden (Stromversorger, Rechenzentrums-Bauherren) erfordern (wortgleich in allen vier 10-Q und im 10-K 2024/2025). Dazu kommt eine generische Cybersecurity-Floskel im Risikoteil des 10-K 2025 („…including the use of new and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence…“). Weder KI-Umsatzquelle noch dokumentierter operativer KI-Einsatz noch konkretes KI-Geschäftsrisiko fürs eigene Modell: MYR Group baut und wartet Stromnetz- und Elektroinfrastruktur und profitiert allenfalls indirekt vom KI-getriebenen Strombedarf seiner Kunden — nach dem Kriterienkatalog bleibt es bei „neutral“ (Endmarkt-Exponierung allein begründet kein „verkauft“).

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Assessment: Opportunities & Risks

Demand & order book

The quarterly report (10-Q as of 03/31/2026) explicitly names AI data centers, electrification and reshoring as investment drivers for customers; Q1 2026 grew 20 percent to $1,000.4 million — only the second billion-dollar quarter in company history. The $2.84 billion backlog (+7.6 percent), however, grows far more slowly than the share price.

Profitability & balance sheet

Record year 2025 ($118.4 million net income, $326.6 million operating cash flow), gross margin recovered from 8.6 to 11.6 percent and 13.4 percent in Q1 2026; $163.2 million cash against $9.4 million remaining debt, Piotroski 9 of 9, Altman-Z around 6.9, return on equity around 23 percent (data as of July 10, 2026).

Project & fixed-price risk

57 percent of revenue at fixed prices (C&I: 84.5 percent), cost overruns per the 10-K "may not be recoverable"; 2024 proved the drop height: clean energy losses erased 5.5 percentage points of T&D margin and group net income fell 67 percent. Even in the record year 2025, negative estimate changes cost 2.4 gross margin points; the collective bargaining agreements (85 percent of craft workers) expire between 2026 and 2028.

Valuation

P/E around 53 trailing and around 42 on the current-year estimate, price-to-book around 11, price-to-sales around 2 on a 3 to 5 percent net margin (data as of July 10, 2026) — historically high multiples for a cyclical project business; the company's own last buybacks averaged $117.33 (2025).

Market technicals & capital allocation

A stage-2 uptrend, relative strength of 95, 22 scanner hits, institutional accumulation (11 adding, 6 trimming) and only about 3 percent to the all-time high meet a management team that let its $75 million repurchase program expire unused on February 4, 2026, and pays no dividend — the trend strength is real, and so is the leadership's price verdict on its own stock (10-K for 2025, Item 5).

Bottom Line

MYR Group is the rare combination of century-old trade business and momentum leader: on the grid since 1891, practically debt-free, a record quarter with 20 percent growth, Piotroski 9 of 9 — and the power hunger of AI data centers stands as a demand driver in its own quarterly report. Against that stand a business model that rests 57 percent on fixed prices and lost two thirds of its profit in a single solar year (2024), a backlog growing at a merely normal pace, and a share price at 53 times trailing earnings — a level at which the leadership preferred to let its own buyback program lapse. Whoever invests here buys first-class execution at a price that assumes flawlessness. Not investment advice.

Worth Noting:
  • MYRG landed on the research list via the momentum/stage-2 run of our in-house stock scanner on July 17, 2026; the 22 hits and all metrics carry the July 10, 2026 data cut.
  • Scanner metrics (P/E, P/B, Piotroski, Altman-Z, fundamental grade) use trailing twelve-month figures; the 2024 margin slump has rolled out of them, and a future project accident is naturally not yet in them.
  • Price and valuation figures dated July 10, 2026 (about $487 per share, about $7.8 billion market value); analyses are evergreen, daily prices are not a buy argument.
