Granite Construction shares slipped despite upbeat news, as traders questioned how much of the company’s growth story is already baked into the stock price. Some investors appear worried that expectations may now be too high after a strong run, prompting profit-taking.
The company just secured a $19 million preconstruction award from the Nevada DOT for an I-80 widening project that could lead to a $475 million construction phase funded by federal and state money. Management also issued bullish 2026 revenue guidance of $4.9 billion to $5.1 billion, and analysts responded by raising their price targets on Granite, citing a record backlog, strong execution, and potential M&A.
