Ameresco Inc (AMRC)

Q3 202630 Jun – 15 Sep 2026

Record data-center awards and backlog drive Ameresco, but profit slips

Record $1.8B awards, data-center demand Ameresco won a record $1.8 billion of new projects in Q2, with $1.2 billion for on-site power at data centers. Total backlog rose 32% to $6.73 billion, giving visibility for years. This is the core reason investors see growing future revenue.
It is the main new fundamental driver of AMRC's outlook and price.
Q2 revenue beat, guidance raised Q2 revenue of $515 million beat expectations by about 12%, and Ameresco raised full-year earnings guidance to $1.15-$1.35 per share, above analyst consensus. The stock jumped nearly 30% on the news, showing how much better-than-feared results matter.
It explains the sharp positive price reaction and improved earnings outlook.
Profit and cash flow weaken Despite record awards, net income fell to $9.7 million from $12.9 million a year earlier, and the first half swung to an $8.6 million loss. Higher depreciation, interest costs, and a smaller tax benefit are squeezing the bottom line, a real counterweight to the growth story.
It is the main negative force and balances the bullish backlog news.
Potential inverter import restrictions Reports of possible US restrictions on foreign-made power inverters lifted Ameresco and other domestic renewable companies. If rules limit foreign suppliers, Ameresco could face less competition and benefit from a shift to domestic equipment, though the policy is not final.
It is a new regulatory catalyst that could support AMRC's competitive position.
