Fluor posts record quarterly awards and maintains 2026 EBITDA outlook

Fluor reported third-quarter revenue of $3.72B, up 10.5% year over year, alongside $10.9B in new awards. Backlog rose 21% year over year to $34.3B, and the company maintained its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $500M-$525M. Third-quarter operating cash flow was $186M.

The record awards and larger backlog expand Fluor’s contracted work base while leaving its 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook unchanged. Management said a client scope change could remove about $2 billion from backlog in the fourth quarter, with the final amount still being assessed.
