EMCOR Group's Long-Term Growth on Track, but Valuation and Technical Concerns Persist

EMCOR Group reported Q2 2025 earnings, with long-term growth on track. The stock has increased about 50% since April. However, valuation and technical concerns linger.

EMCOR Group (NYSE: EME) reported strong Q2 2025 earnings, with revenue increasing 17.4% to a quarterly record of $4.3 billion and diluted EPS rising 28% to $6.72. The company's performance was driven by robust demand for its specialty contract services, particularly in the U.S. electrical and mechanical construction segments. The acquisition of Miller Electric also contributed significantly to the growth. EME's RPOs increased 32% to a record $11.91 billion, demonstrating the strong pipeline of future projects.

The company's long-term growth prospects appear promising, with analysts expecting revenue to grow 14.8% to $16.72 billion and EPS to grow 17% in 2025. However, the stock's valuation has become a concern. The forward EV/EBITDA ratio has risen to 16.14, 22% higher than the sector median of 12.57. This suggests that the stock may maintain an above-average valuation due to its above-average expected growth.

Technically, EME's monthly chart shows a strong multiple-year rally, but a bearish divergence between the stock price and the RSI indicator has emerged. This divergence, similar to the one seen in 2017, could indicate a pullback. The MACD indicator still shows positive momentum, but a change in trend could occur if the blue MACD line crosses below the red signal line.

Risks for the stock include potential sell-offs due to the higher valuation, changes in current trends leading to lower demand for EME's services, economic slowdowns, tighter credit conditions, and fluctuations in the oil and gas industry. Despite these concerns, EME's long-term outlook remains positive, with a strong pipeline of data center projects and expanding margins expected to drive profitability.
