CTRI scores in the upper-50s primarily due to improving financial results and significant recent balance-sheet de-risking, reinforced by constructive 2026 guidance and strong backlog. The score is held back by inconsistent cash generation (negative 2025 free cash flow) and a demanding valuation (very high P/E), while technicals are neutral with a long-term uptrend but near-term consolidation.
Positive Factors
Backlog & Pipeline
A $5.9B backlog covering >85% of 2026 base revenue plus a $13B pipeline gives multi-quarter revenue visibility. Durable project demand from regulated utility capital programs and a deep bid funnel reduce revenue volatility and support sustained organic growth.
Negative Factors
Inconsistent Free Cash Flow
Negative free cash flow despite positive operating cash flow highlights weak cash conversion after investments and working capital timing. This reduces financial flexibility for deleveraging, fleet funding, or returns to shareholders absent continued capital raises or improved collections.

(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 13, 2026

The call presented a strong set of operational and financial accomplishments—record revenue, robust bookings and backlog growth, meaningful base revenue and base gross profit expansion, segment-level outperformance (notably in nonunion electric and Canada), and improved leverage and cash generation initiatives.

On balance, positive momentum, conservative guidance, and concrete initiatives to address weaknesses suggest the company is positioned for continued progress into 2026.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Centuri initiated full‑year 2026 guidance calling for base revenue of $3.15–$3.45 billion and base gross profit of $255–$285 million (base gross margin midpoint ~8.2%; including the assumed three‑year average storm contribution of $88M revenue and $28M gross profit lifts the midpoint to about 8.8%), total revenue of $3.24–$3.54 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $280–$310 million, adjusted net income of $55–$75 million, and net CapEx of $75–$90 million. Management also forecasted fleet investments of $150–$180 million (targeting ~50/50 buy vs. lease and at least 20% fleet efficiency improvement), expects net debt/adjusted EBITDA to fall to ~2.0x by year‑end 2026 (from 2.5x at year‑end 2025) with interest expense roughly 30% lower versus 2025, and reiterated a longer‑term free cash flow conversion target of about 50% of adjusted EBITDA. The guidance is underpinned by a year‑end backlog of ~$5.9 billion (up $2.2B, +59% YoY) that should cover >85% of 2026 base revenue, bookings YTD of ~ $1.1 billion, a $13.0 billion opportunity pipeline (580 bid opportunities totaling ~$6.7B, $2.8B of near‑term active proposals, and near‑term opportunity around $1.3B), and a data‑center pipeline of ~20+ opportunities (~$1.4B, with prospects up to ~$2.0B).Centuri Holdings, Inc.
