# Quanta Services Investor Day: CEO Pegs $2.4T TAM, Targets $21.60-$26.75 EPS by 2030

-   The Power Bill, the AI Dip, and the Date That Could Flip 2026 Stocks

Quanta Services NYSE: PWR used its 2026 Investor Day to outline what executives described as a significantly expanded growth runway, driven by a broader total addressable market (TAM), a solutions-focused operating model, and investments in workforce development and supply chain capabilities.

## Safety and workforce development emphasized as foundational

The event opened with a safety briefing from Matthew Compher, senior vice president of Safety, Health & Environmental, who said employee safety and “their safe return home is essential to our success.” Compher highlighted Quanta’s safety systems, training programs, a goal of having an automated external defibrillator (AED) with every crew, and a collaboration with MATES in Construction focused on mental health and suicide prevention.

Karl Studer, president of Electric Power, later expanded on the company’s training and safety efforts, calling safety “everything we do.” He said Quanta has spent more than $40 million deploying AEDs and credited them with “over 50 lives saved,” including members of the public. Studer also described the company’s use of Lytx in-vehicle cameras and AI-enabled driver coaching to reduce risk and develop training curriculum.

Studer said Quanta spends “over $100 million annually” on workforce development and described a “new hybrid apprenticeship program” that is competency-based and can train journeymen “up to 30% faster.” He also said apprenticeship enrollments are up “over 120% for the year,” and noted that veterans represent “over 20%” of pre-apprentice students.

## CEO highlights “absolute performance,” self-perform model, and track record

President and CEO Duke Austin framed Quanta’s culture as “absolute performance,” describing the company as known for “certainty” in delivering projects safely, on time, and on budget. Austin said Quanta self-performs about “85% of our business,” calling it a differentiator that supports execution certainty.

Austin also said the company’s addressable markets have expanded materially, arguing that Quanta is “not just a utility infrastructure company” but also supports technology and power generation. He said Quanta’s TAM is “double what they were in 2022,” later estimating it at “around $2.4 trillion.”

Both Austin and CFO Jayshree Desai pointed to historical performance as a basis for credibility. Desai said revenue has grown “over 14%” annually over the past 10 years, while adjusted diluted EPS has grown “25%” over that period. She also said Quanta exceeded a 2021 adjusted EPS target of $3.98 with actual results of $4.91, and now expects to exceed 2026 targets for adjusted EPS and return on invested capital.

## Markets: utility, technology load growth, and generation convergence

Austin said large load growth is reshaping infrastructure needs and challenged claims that the transmission system is “50% utilized,” calling that view a “fallacy” when considering peak load requirements and grid reliability. He described a converging dynamic between utility infrastructure, technology-related load growth, and generation needs.

On technology, Austin said the “fastest growing thing we have” is large-load customer work, while acknowledging it represented “only 10%” of backlog at the time of the event. He said Quanta’s discussions with technology customers are “daily” and emphasized speed and certainty as differentiators.

Austin also provided context for data center scope, saying Quanta estimates it can address “about 50%-60%” of a data center build, largely through mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and high-voltage work, excluding generation and utility interconnects. He said supply chain capabilities are increasingly important as these projects “press on our supply chain.”

## Supply chain and integrated solutions model

Austin said Quanta’s supply chain strategy accelerated during COVID-era disruptions and was driven by customer requests for support on critical components such as transformers, breakers, poles, and wire. He emphasized that Quanta does not typically take commodity risk and often structures contracts to backstop that exposure.

During the discussion, Austin corrected an investment figure related to supply chain, stating the company has announced a “$500 million-$700 million investment” (after initially misstating the amount). He said Quanta is a “top five purchaser” of high-voltage equipment and described expanded capabilities in transformer and breaker manufacturing. Austin highlighted an expansion to support 765 kV transformers at a U.S.-based facility in Pennsylvania, saying the factory will “double in size” and “double in capacity.”

Executives repeatedly characterized Quanta as a “solution company” rather than a contractor, with Austin saying customers increasingly want enhanced long-term relationships as capital programs grow in size and complexity. Desai said less than “15%” of revenue comes from fixed-price contracts greater than $300 million, positioning that mix as part of the company’s risk management approach.

## Financial targets: growth, margins, cash generation, and capital allocation

Desai laid out five-year targets through 2030, including:

-   **Organic revenue CAGR:** 7% to 10%, implying consolidated revenue of $44 billion to $49 billion by 2030.
-   **Adjusted EBITDA margin:** 10% to 11%, which she described as a 30 basis-point expansion versus the midpoint of 2026 guidance and 80 basis points versus the high end.
-   **Return on invested capital:** 12% to 15% by 2030.
-   **Adjusted EPS:** $21.60 to $26.75 by 2030, representing a 15% to 20% CAGR off 2025 adjusted EPS of $10.75, with potential for “north of 20%” in a “full stack” scenario.

Desai said margin expansion is expected to come from performance improvements, particularly in “legacy underground operations and our Canadian operations,” plus increased demand for fabricated solutions and MEP capabilities, and operating leverage from scale and supply chain. In Q&A, she reiterated those themes and also referenced supply chain purchasing scale as a contributor.

On cash and balance sheet priorities, Desai said Quanta expects free cash flow (FCF) conversion (FCF as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA) to reach “55%-60%” by 2030, after near-term pressure from manufacturing expansion. She said the company expects to generate “$10 billion-$12 billion” of FCF over the period. Quanta is targeting leverage of “about 1.5x-2x” while maintaining an investment-grade balance sheet, though Desai said the company could temporarily exceed that range for compelling acquisitions, citing leverage of roughly “2.5x-2.7x” following the Blattner acquisition and noting it could approach “closer to 3x” for the right deal.

Executives emphasized disciplined capital allocation across organic investment, acquisitions, dividends, and opportunistic share repurchases. Desai said Quanta generated $5 billion of FCF over the last four years while buying $6 billion of companies, and generated $7 billion of FCF over the last 10 years while acquiring $10 billion of businesses, while maintaining an investment-grade balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders. She added that dividend growth remains a “complement” to investment, not a substitute.

In closing remarks, Austin said the company’s guidance approach remains “prudent” and expressed conviction in the plan, stating Quanta intends to grow adjusted EPS “15%-20%+” over the period, with “a lot of ways we can get to the plus.”
