About Argan, Inc.
About Argan, Inc.
Argan, Inc.'s Power segment generated $756.5 million in revenue during fiscal 2026 — 80.1% of consolidated revenues — up from $416.3 million in fiscal 2024, driven by surging demand for utility-scale natural gas-fired power and data center infrastructure. The Power segment's project backlog reached over $2.7 billion as of January 31, 2026, roughly double the approximately $1.3 billion backlog a year earlier. Argan employed 1,409 workers as of January 31, 2026, with a craft labor workforce that expands and contracts with active project count.
The company generates revenue through long-term, fixed-price EPC contracts — typically spanning one to four years — for combined-cycle and simple-cycle natural gas plants, biomass facilities, solar fields, and wind farms, primarily in the U.S. with additional operations in Ireland and the U.K. For fiscal 2026, the three largest Power segment customers accounted for approximately 23%, 16%, and 11% of consolidated revenues; no other customer exceeded 10%. The Industrial segment ($167.6 million, 17.7% of revenues) serves customers in aluminum rolling, electric vehicle manufacturing, fertilizer production, and data center construction, primarily in the Southeast U.S., operating a fabrication facility near Greenville, North Carolina. The Teledata segment ($20.6 million, 2.2%) provides utility construction and technology wiring services in the Mid-Atlantic region. For domestic natural gas-fired EPC work, the 10-K notes that "the number of capable competitors has declined over the past decade as several major firms have exited the market, been acquired, or moved away from fixed-price contracts."
Show full overview
Argan's fixed-price EPC model concentrates cost-overrun risk on the company: if labor shortages, supply chain delays, or tariff-driven price increases on steel and aluminum push costs above estimates, profits erode without contractual relief. The 10-K also notes that Power segment projects depend on obtaining environmental permits, pipeline approvals, and grid interconnection agreements — any of which could independently delay or cancel a project — and that if fewer projects receive notices-to-proceed, the $2.7 billion backlog may convert to revenue more slowly than projected.
