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.
Legence LGN NASDAQ: LGN reported record second-quarter results as demand for mission-critical building systems remained strong, led by data centers and technology projects, while the company raised its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook.
