Everus Construction Group: Skilled Labor Shortage Will Drive This Market Leader Higher

Everus Construction Group is a pure-play leader in data center and grid expansion construction, benefiting from AI-driven demand and skilled labor shortages. I issue a 'strong buy' rating on ECG, citing robust backlog growth, superior execution, and discounted valuation relative to peers. ECG's recent $158M acquisition of SE&M expands its Southeast U.S. presence at an attractive 8.3x EV/EBITDA multiple, supporting inorganic growth.
