Travis Boone, CEO of Orion Group Holdings, has been discussing the company’s recent dual listing on the New York Stock Exchange Texas, which he described as an opportunity to expand the investor base and increase visibility among different investor segments. In a June 2025 interview on NYSE TV, Boone cited several market tailwinds, including policy directives from the Trump administration focused on reshoring manufacturing and shipbuilding, U.S. Navy spending in the Pacific, data center construction driven by artificial intelligence demand, port expansions, and Gulf Coast restoration projects. He stated that the company is focused on executing projects and building its backlog for 2025, with an eye toward "transformational growth" in 2026. In prior interviews, Boone highlighted specific contracts, including an $80 million bulkhead reconstruction project at Port Everglades and a $435 million U.S. Navy dry dock project in Hawaii, which he described as the largest project the company has ever undertaken. He noted that the company exited the Central Texas market, which he characterized as a distraction, to focus on stronger markets in Dallas and Houston. Boone also emphasized the company’s safety record and culture as a differentiator, stating that clients such as Google and Microsoft have selected Orion for data center projects based on safety metrics. He described Orion as having "all the characteristics of a value stock and all the opportunities of a growth stock."
