Fluor Corporation (FLR)

In the past six months, Fluor's stock has been impacted by several key events. A Q2 2025 earnings report in August 2025 significantly missed analyst estimates, leading to a stock price decline. In October 2025, activist investor Starboard Value disclosed acquiring nearly a 5% stake in Fluor, resulting in a share price increase. A class-action securities lawsuit was filed against Fluor Corporation in September 2025. Several analysts have adjusted their ratings and price targets for Fluor, with the consensus rating currently at "Hold."

The demand for Fluor Corp.'s products and services is subject to seasonality. The construction industry is heavily influenced by weather conditions, with peak season from late spring through early fall. Increased demand during spring and summer can lead to labor shortages. Economic factors and historical stock performance also influence demand, with November showing the highest probability of a positive return.

Fluor Corporation is a global engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), and maintenance company. It operates as a holding company, providing services such as engineering, procurement, construction, and project management. The company's business is segmented into Energy Solutions, focusing on traditional and energy transition markets; Urban Solutions, providing services for advanced technologies, life sciences, and infrastructure; Mission Solutions, delivering technical solutions to governments; and Mining and Metals, offering comprehensive services for the mining industry.

Fluor has a significant global presence, operating in over 60 locations across more than 25 countries.

Fluor's brand reputation has been influenced by both positive and challenging events. The acquisition of a stake by Starboard Value could be seen as a vote of confidence. However, the weak Q2 2025 earnings report and the class-action securities lawsuit could significantly damage Fluor's brand reputation.

Pacific Heights Asset Management LLC increased its holdings by 20% in Q2 2025. Other institutional investors that have recently adjusted their positions include Golden State Wealth Management LLC, Cambridge Investment Research Advisors Inc., and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC.
