Fluor reports Q3 2026 earnings with record new awards and strong backlog

Fluor Corp announced third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $3.72 billion, a 10% year‑over‑year increase, and net earnings of $158 million, reversing a loss from the prior year. Adjusted diluted EPS rose to $0.77 and the company recorded $10.9 billion in new awards, including a $7.5 billion LNG Canada Phase 2 contract. Backlog grew 21% to $34.3 billion, its highest level in a decade, and Fluor reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $500 million‑$525 million while projecting low‑double‑digit EBITDA growth for 2027.

The affirmed EBITDA guidance and expanding backlog suggest continued revenue growth and earnings upside, which may support the company’s share‑repurchase program. Analysts note that the record award volume strengthens Fluor’s long‑term earnings outlook.
