IES Holdings: A Largely Encouraging Quarter, But Chasing The Stock Now Is Unadvisable
IES Holdings, which has outperformed industrial and infrastructure peers by a handsome margin this year, reported Q2 earnings last week, which resulted in another bump in the share price. Topline growth is accelerating, underpinned by a 91% YoY surge in RPO and a doubling of backlog, with communications and infrastructure solutions segments serving as shining lights. However, the Residential segment remains a drag, with double-digit declines and severe operating deleverage, also translating to more muted margin progression.
