Following the earnings report, Arcosa’s stock saw notable momentum, gaining 9.00% on the trading day and 14.65% for the week. Month-to-date, the stock climbed 4.77%.

Post Earnings Price Action Review
A strategy of purchasing Arcosa shares immediately following a quarter with revenue growth and holding for 30 days has historically yielded poor returns, with a CAGR of 0.00% and an excess return of -2.52% over the past three years. The strategy underperformed the benchmark by 2.52%, with no volatility and no drawdown observed, suggesting it was risk-free but unprofitable.

CEO Commentary
CEO Antonio Carrillo attributed the strong Q2 performance to strategic actions, including the Stavola acquisition, which boosted revenue by 18% and adjusted EBITDA by 42%. He highlighted strong backlog visibility, improved margins, and resilient demand in growth segments like Utility and Wind Towers. Despite weather challenges in the Construction Products segment, Carrillo expressed confidence in second-half recovery. He also emphasized Arcosa’s position in infrastructure and energy transition markets, including plans to convert a wind tower facility to meet Transmission Structures demand.

Guidance
Arcosa reaffirmed 2025 guidance, with revenue now targeting a midpoint of $2.9 billion, up 17% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to hit a midpoint of $570 million, a 30% increase excluding steel components from 2024. Carrillo expects Construction Products to see high single-digit organic growth in the second half, while Aggregates pricing is projected to rise into the high single-digit range for the full year. Transportation Products currently has a $277 million backlog into 2026, and Wind Towers orders extend into 2028. Capital expenditures are forecasted at $145–155 million, with a focus on deleveraging and disciplined investment.
