Argan Posts Record Fiscal Q2 2027 Revenue Up 61% as EPS Tops Consensus
Argan, Inc. reported fiscal Q2 2027 results featuring a 61.5% year over year revenue increase to roughly $384 million and EPS of $3.76, well above published consensus estimates that ranged from $2.33 to $2.66 depending on the provider. The engineering and construction firm highlighted growth in its Power segment, a large project backlog, and an improved cash and balance sheet position. Shares had drifted lower into the print and rose after the results.
Argan, Inc. AGX released its fiscal second-quarter 2027 earnings on September 2, 2026, reporting a 61.5% jump in revenue to $384 million and adjusted earnings per share of $3.76, up from $2.50 a year earlier. Analyst consensus estimates for the quarter varied by data provider, ranging from roughly $2.33 to $2.66 per share, and Argan's result beat all of them, with the most widely cited figures putting the beat at $1.10 to $1.12 per share.
The results were driven primarily by the company's Power segment, whose revenue grew 53% year over year to $301 million at a 22% gross margin, contributing to record revenue, record net income of $53.3 million, and record adjusted EBITDA of $70 million for the quarter. Argan is a construction and engineering services company operating through Power, Industrial, and Teledata segments, not a biotech firm; its Power segment builds and services power-generation infrastructure, including gas-fired and renewable projects.
The earnings release, distributed via Business Wire and filed with the SEC, also disclosed a project backlog of $2.5 billion as of July 31, 2026, reinforcing management's outlook for continued growth through the rest of fiscal 2027. Market data aggregators including Investing.com and StockTitan highlighted the record financial metrics and the strengthened balance sheet position.
Argan's stock had declined in the days ahead of the earnings release amid broader pre-earnings caution and profit-taking after a strong run-up earlier in 2026, not in reaction to the results themselves. Once the results were out, shares rose in the regular session and then jumped further after hours, reflecting a positive market reaction to the scale of the beat rather than the caution some had expected.
Given the size of the revenue and earnings beat, the report is likely to draw continued attention from analysts covering power-infrastructure and industrial construction names. Going forward, stakeholders will watch for guidance on the remainder of fiscal 2027, capital-expenditure plans, and further updates on the backlog that could sustain the current momentum.
