Font: Financial Modeling Prep  • Jul 13, 2026

• Primoris Services Corporation (NYSE:PRIM) experienced a significant stock price decline following missed financial forecasts and reduced Adjusted EBITDA guidance.
• Analyst firm Needham set an optimistic price target of $172.00 despite recent challenges, suggesting a substantial potential upside of approximately 98.17%.
• The company is currently under investigation by multiple law firms for potential securities fraud related to its renewables business.

Primoris Services Corporation (NYSE:PRIM) is a specialty contractor that provides a wide range of construction, maintenance, and engineering services to the utility, energy, and pipeline industries across North America. On July 13, 2026, analyst firm Needham lowers its price target for Primoris to $172.00, implying a potential upside of approximately 98.17% from its trading price of $85.22.

This optimistic target comes despite significant recent challenges for Primoris. On May 6, 2026, Primoris's stock price plummets by 50.11%, or $101.69 per share. The sharp decline follows the company's report of first-quarter 2026 financial results that fall below analyst expectations and include a major reduction in its financial forecast for the year.

The company slashes its full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $480 million to $500 million, a large drop from the previous forecast of $560 million to $580 million. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure of operating performance. Primoris attributes the downgrade to lower renewable energy activity and increased project costs.

More issues arise on June 23, 2026, as Primoris stock craters by 40% during intraday trading. Primoris again cuts its Adjusted EBITDA forecast to a range of just $275 million to $325 million. This news is coupled with the abrupt departure of its Chief Operating Officer, increasing investor uncertainty.

These events trigger legal scrutiny. Law firms like Pomerantz, Hagens Berman, and Levi & Korsinsky now investigate Primoris for potential securities fraud. The investigations focus on whether the company's statements about its renewables business misled investors, which resulted in significant financial losses for shareholders.
