Quanta Services is set to report its Q2 2025 earnings on July 31. Historical performance shows the company has exceeded earnings and revenue estimates in three of the past four quarters, with an average surprise of 4.8%. Analysts project Q2 revenue of $6.55 billion, reflecting 17.2% year-over-year growth, driven by strong demand in electric grids, power generation, and infrastructure modernization. The Electric Infrastructure Solutions segment, contributing 79.3% of Q1 revenue, is expected to grow mid-to-upper teens, while the Underground Utility segment is anticipated to remain stable.

Operating margins are forecast to expand, with the Electric Infrastructure Solutions segment reaching 10% (up from 9.5%) and overall operating margins rising 70 basis points to 6.2%. However, challenges such as labor costs and supply inefficiencies may temper gains. Quanta’s cash flow growth of 21.9% and projected 24.6% expansion in 2025 underscore its financial resilience.
