What MYR Group does

MYR Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MYRG) is a publicly traded specialty electrical contractor founded in 1951, headquartered in Thornton, Colorado, with operations across the United States and Canada. The company operates through two segments: Transmission & Distribution (T&D), which delivers powerline and grid infrastructure construction for utility customers, and Commercial & Industrial (C&I), which serves commercial buildings, data centers, industrial facilities, airports, universities, and clean energy projects. Work is executed through wholly owned subsidiaries including Sturgeon Electric, The L.E. Myers Co., Harlan Electric Company, Powerline Plus Ltd. (acquired 2022), and the pending acquisition of Valley Electric and Comet Electric (expected to close July 2026). Underlying technology consists of electrical construction methods, transmission line installation, and increasingly prefabricated electrical assembly rather than a software or IP-based platform.

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts and long-term master service agreements (MSAs) with investor-owned utilities, data center developers, and commercial/industrial customers. Notable engagements include a five-year, $500+ million design-build electric distribution MSA with Xcel Energy (construction beginning early 2026) and a $90 million data center project in Colorado executed by Sturgeon Electric. Revenue is recognized on a project basis, with pricing determined through competitive bidding and MSA frameworks rather than publicly disclosed schedules. As of Q1 2026, the company reported a record backlog of $2.84 billion, up 8% year-over-year, providing strong forward revenue visibility. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting utilities and large commercial/industrial customers through direct bids and negotiated MSAs.

For FY2025, MYR Group reported record revenue of $3.66 billion, with LTM revenue of $3.82 billion as of March 31, 2026, and LTM net income of $141.9 million. Q1 2026 results showed revenue of $1 billion (up 20% year-over-year, beating consensus by 7.5%), operating margin expansion to 6.5% from 4.1% year-over-year, and EPS of $2.99 versus $2.06 consensus. The company pursues a rollup M&A strategy and reports approximately 88.9% institutional ownership with a market capitalization of approximately $7.5 billion as of June 2026.
