IES Holdings subsidiary IES Infrastructure has agreed to acquire Broadwind Heavy Fabrications' production facility in Abilene, Texas, for up to $19.5 million. The deal includes real property, equipment, machinery and related assets, with consideration comprising cash and non-cash value tied to a below-market lease arrangement. Approximately 140 employees involved in wind tower manufacturing are expected to transfer to IES Infrastructure after the lease term ends. The transaction was announced on 5 May 2026, following a definitive agreement signed on 30 April. IES Holdings reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $4.16, up from $3.30 year-on-year, with revenue rising to $974.2 million from $834 million. The company maintains a backlog of approximately $3.9 billion, driven by strong demand in data centres and communications infrastructure.
IES Holdings reported fiscal second-quarter 2026 results on 1 May, with revenue reaching $974 million, up 17% year-over-year. Operating income rose 21% to $112.3 million, whilst net income attributable to IES climbed 56% to $109.9 million, yielding diluted earnings per share of $5.44. The Communications segment drove growth with a 35% revenue increase from data centre and distribution centre demand. Infrastructure Solutions revenue surged 64%, boosted by the January acquisition of Gulf Island Fabrication, which contributed $37.5 million. However, the Residential segment declined 10% due to housing market weakness. IES Holdings ended the quarter with $49.5 million in cash and over $214 million in marketable securities.
IES Holdings has raised eyebrows after reporting strong Q2 2026 results and acquiring Gulf Island Fabrication. The company posted higher sales, earnings and backlog, driven by its Communications and Infrastructure Solutions segments. Shares surged 37% over the past month, with a one-year total shareholder return of 178%. Despite the rally, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 34.9x, below both the US Construction industry average of 45.8x and peer average of 48.1x. The company delivered profit growth of 55.7% over the past year and maintains a return on equity of 35.6%. At $661.40 per share, the stock trades roughly 6% below analysts' $700 price target, suggesting potential upside remains despite recent momentum.
IES Holdings director Todd Cleveland sold 7,500 shares of common stock valued at approximately $3.8 million across two transactions between 24 February and 4 March 2026, according to SEC filings. The sales represented about 8.9% of his direct holdings at the start of the period. The sale occurred following a 157% one-year total return in IESC stock and continues a multi-year pattern of position reduction. Cleveland's remaining direct holdings now stand at roughly half their April 2023 level, valued at approximately $34.1 million based on the 20 March closing price of $436.95. The 7,500-share sale was smaller than Cleveland's roughly 10,000-share median for previous open-market sales since April 2023. All transactions involved directly held common shares, with no derivative securities or indirect holdings affected.
