Wasatch Long Short Alpha Fund Portfolio Manager | “Everus Construction Group, Inc. (ECG) was another large contributor. The company provides electrical and mechanical contracting services and power transmission and distribution construction services. Fundamentals for the business remain encouraging, and Everus continues to benefit from strong demand across its data center, high-tech, hospitality and utility markets. Everus serves as an example of the high-quality approach we are taking to finding companies that benefit from the AI build-out. Generally, we're seeking companies that are growing due to AI-related demand, but where the durability of that growth is clearer. Regarding Everus, we think current AI demands have already strained the electrical grid in a way that will require upgrades for the next 10 to 20 years, regardless of AI capital expenditures over the next year. Everus stands to benefit from those upgrades.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 25, 2026 | View Pitch |

1290 Essex Small Cap Growth Fund Portfolio Manager | “Everus Construction Group provided robust returns, driven by strong fundamentals in data centers and utility markets. The managers view Everus as a prime example of their high-quality approach to investing in the AI theme. Because AI data centers place severe demands on the electrical grid, the firm is poised to benefit from necessary infrastructure upgrades that will span decades.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jun 30, 2026 | View Pitch |
Wasatch Long Short Alpha Fund Portfolio Manager | “Everus represents a high-quality, durable play on the AI infrastructure theme, providing electrical and mechanical contracting services. The company is set to benefit from structural, long-term upgrades to the electrical grid that will be required over the next one to two decades to support data centers.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jun 30, 2026 | View Pitch |
Riverwater Sustainable Value Strategy Adam J. Peck, CFA | “Everus Construction Group (ECG) was our top performer, contributing over 150 basis points, and we added to the position in early April as markets were selling off sharply. The stock had been gapping down day-by-day, but we viewed its domestic backlog as relatively insulated from potential tariff impacts and broader macro worries. At less than 13x our estimate of forward earnings, supported by a solid balance sheet and a history of consistent free-cash-flow generation, the risk/reward looked attractive as the economic outlook dimmed. We were rewarded quickly as shares reverted back to roughly where they started the year, reflecting renewed confidence in the durability of Everus' end-market demand. The company, which was recently spun off from MDU Resources, has a diversified backlog in utility, infrastructure, and data-center-related construction projects that should support multi-year growth. We believe the market continues to underappreciate Everus' improving margin profile, strong execution track record, and strategic positioning as a critical contractor for grid modernization and data-center expansion. BSD Analysis: Everus is a fast-growing construction services platform riding public infrastructure spending at the exact moment North America is pouring billions into roads, utilities, and industrial capacity. The company's decentralized model lets it scale through acquisitions while preserving local expertise — a key advantage in a fragmented industry. Backlog growth suggests visibility well beyond the typical contractor cycle. Margin expansion is coming from operational integration, not financial magic. Investors barely cover this name, which is why valuation sits at a steep discount to fundamentals. As federal infrastructure dollars continue flowing, Everus is set to capture outsized share. This is a regional consolidator on the verge of becoming a national one.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Middle Coast Investing LLC Daniel Shvartsman | “The manager bought Everus at depressed levels following an earnings-related sell-off, viewing the stock's low valuation multiple as highly inefficient. The company's large backlog and position in infrastructure services should provide stable gross margins, despite fears regarding shifts in renewable energy or AI-related demand.” | BULL | Q1 2025 Apr 11, 2025 | View Pitch |
