Primoris Services (PRIM) Could Be 38% Undervalued On Solar Progress And Buybacks

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Primoris Services (PRIM) is back in focus after reporting progress on six utility-scale solar projects, naming Matt Tetrault as President of Renewables, and completing a roughly $100 million share repurchase authorization.

Despite the fresh solar milestones and buyback news, Primoris Services is coming off a tougher stretch, with a 90 day share price return that is down 20.08% and a year to date share price decline of 43.13%. However, the 5 year total shareholder return of 205.68% points to a very different longer term story.

After a sharp pullback, even as Primoris Services completes solar projects and a US$100 million buyback, is it more compelling to step in now or wait for a cleaner entry once the valuation picture comes into focus?

Most Popular Narrative: 38% Undervalued

Primoris Services closed at $74.28, while the most followed narrative pegs fair value near $119.79. The gap hinges on how convincingly the business can turn its current project pipeline into stronger earnings.

Operational execution, improved productivity, and a favorable project mix in core segments (especially Utilities) are driving company-wide gross margin improvement and improved cash conversion, structurally enhancing Primoris's earnings and free cash flow profile.

See why 13 investors see Primoris Services as 38% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of $119.79 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the narrative around Primoris Services can shift quickly if renewable project issues deepen or if class action lawsuits and guidance cuts weigh further on investor confidence.

Another View: Primoris Services Through The P/E Lens

There is a different read on Primoris Services once you zoom in on how the P/E ratio stacks up. The stock trades on about 28.6x earnings, which is slightly higher than the US Construction industry at 28.3x, yet a touch lower than the peer average of 29.4x.

The fair ratio sits much higher at 43.9x. That gap leaves room for the market to either move closer to that fair ratio or stay anchored near industry levels. For an investor, the real question is whether today’s earnings quality justifies the higher fair ratio or argues for sticking with the more cautious market multiple.
