Argan, Inc. (AGX) is well-positioned to capitalize on surging power demand from AI, data centers, EVs, and reshoring trends. AGX boasts a $3B backlog, strong pricing power, and limited competition, supporting robust revenue and margin growth over the next 12–18 months. Despite a recent revenue dip from project timing, AGX's margin expansion and disciplined project selection underpin a buy rating.
Argan, Inc. remains a buy, driven by a $3 billion backlog, accelerating power investment cycle, and robust balance sheet. AGX's Q3 2026 results show resilient margins and earnings despite a temporary revenue dip from project timing, not demand weakness. Backlog quality is high, anchored by large gas projects supporting multi-year revenue visibility and sustainable margin expansion.
Q3 FY26 saw a 2.3% revenue decline as AGX's core segment faces temporary revenue softness due to project timing, but EBITDA margin expanded 140 bps year-on-year to 16%. A record $3B backlog and strong order flow position topline growth to re-accelerate as major projects ramp in FY26–FY27. Margin outlook remains solid, supported by disciplined execution and a mix of profitable contracts.
