Legence: Expecting A Bounce Back In 2027
Legence Corp. is rated a Strong Buy, driven by robust earnings growth and integration benefits from the Bowers Group acquisition. Despite margin pressure from Bowers, LGN raised guidance, now targeting $450 million adjusted EBITDA in 2026 and trading at an attractive 9.39x EV/EBITDA. Private equity selling, notably Blackstone reducing its stake from 72% to 47%, has weighed on sentiment but does not reflect LGN's growth trajectory.
