He stated that remaining performance obligations (RPOs) reached $15.62 billion, up 32.9% year-over-year and 17.9% sequentially, driven by “particularly robust activity in network communications or data centers.” Guzzi said the company raised its full-year 2026 guidance to revenues between $18.5 billion and $19.25 billion and diluted earnings per share between $28.25 and $29.75ikuha. He described the acquisition pipeline as “good,” with a primary focus on electrical construction. Throughout 2025, Guzzi reported record results across multiple quarters. In the fourth quarter and full year 2025, he said EMCOR achieved record revenues of nearly $17 billion and record adjusted diluted earnings per share of $25.87, a 20% increase from 2024. He attributed growth to strong demand in data centers, high-tech manufacturing, and other sectors, and noted that the company’s RPOs in network and communications totaled a record $4.46 billion at the end of December 2025, an increase of nearly 60% year-over-year.
