The power industry services segment, contributing
Argan's results highlight its critical position in addressing America's energy infrastructure challenges. The company's success in both natural gas and renewable energy projects demonstrates precisely why the market needs versatile EPC firms capable of executing the full spectrum of generation assets required for grid stability.
Their backlog composition is particularly revealing - securing contracts for a 700 MW gas-fired project, a 300 MW biofuel plant, and a post-quarter 1.2 GW gas project in Texas showcases the balanced approach utilities are taking toward generation expansion. These projects represent the exact type of flexible, dispatchable generation capacity needed to complement intermittent renewables while supporting baseload demand.
The company's involvement in the 405 MW Midwest Solar Project and battery facilities indicates their ability to execute the complete continuum of modern power infrastructure. This positions Argan perfectly amid the current power capacity crisis affecting multiple regions across the country. With NERC projecting capacity shortfalls and PJM interconnection queues backlogged, experienced EPC contractors like Argan become essential partners.
The substantial growth in their industrial construction services segment (
Management's emphasis on the "electrification of everything" and data center power needs directly addresses what industry analysts identify as the next major driver of electricity demand growth. Their three-to-four-year project timelines align perfectly with utility planning horizons for the capacity additions needed to support these emerging demand centers.

David Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Argan, commented, “Our fourth quarter performance continued the momentum we saw throughout fiscal 2025, providing a strong close to a year characterized by exceptional execution across all of our business segments. Power industry services reported particularly strong performance during the quarter, with revenue growth of approximately
“Backlog grew to
“As an energy-agnostic company with a proven track record of delivering high-complexity projects on time and within budget, Argan has earned a solid reputation across the markets we serve. The ongoing ‘electrification of everything’ is creating extraordinary pressure on our power grids, while aging power infrastructure and nearly a decade of underinvestment in natural gas power facilities is driving unprecedented need for reliable, 24/7 sources of high quality energy. We believe our successful track record as a partner of choice in the construction of both natural gas and renewable power generating assets positions us very competitively in the current energy environment.
“We are energized by the strong pipeline of projects ahead as our industry prepares to establish the dependable energy resources necessary to power the reshoring of complex manufacturing operations, the growing amount of data centers and the increased use of EV charging. It’s important to note that the current buildout of power facilities is in its early stages, and that the combined cycle projects we take on typically have a duration of three to four years. With the volume of projects we’re seeing coming to market, we believe our runway for continued growth is substantial. Argan remains focused on leveraging our capabilities, financial flexibility and longstanding customer and industry relationships to drive continued growth as we pursue new opportunities to build the energy infrastructure needed today, tomorrow and beyond.”
