Construction Partners is a publicly funded infrastructure contractor with 35% year-over-year revenue growth and strong breakout momentum, but 65% customer concentration in public funding sources and below-minimum business quality create meaningful execution and funding-cycle risks.

About Construction Partners, Inc.
About Construction Partners, Inc.
Construction Partners held $3.0 billion in contract backlog at September 30, 2025, up 50% from $2.0 billion a year earlier, as the company expanded into Texas and Oklahoma through five acquisitions totaling $1.5 billion in aggregate transaction consideration. The civil infrastructure company operates across eight Sunbelt states with 6,412 total employees as of September 30, 2025. Publicly funded work represented approximately 65% of fiscal 2025 revenues, with state DOTs accounting for 43.4% and no single customer exceeding 10%.
Construction Partners generates revenue through fixed unit price contracts with public agencies and fixed total price contracts with private developers. The IIJA, signed in November 2021, provided nearly $400 billion in new infrastructure spending over five years for highways, bridges, and airports, supporting contract awards across the company's markets. Primary input materials are hot mix asphalt — composed of liquid asphalt cement, virgin aggregates, and reclaimed asphalt pavement — and diesel fuel; the company supplies reclaimed asphalt pavement internally to all HMA plants and mines aggregates in certain markets. Liquid asphalt and diesel fuel price variability affects margin on projects already in backlog, where contractual cost escalator provisions may not fully offset increases. Competition is fragmented across thousands of regional operators and multinational companies including Vulcan Materials, from which ROAD acquired eight HMA plants in the Houston metro in October 2025.
Show full overview
State DOTs constituted 43.4% of fiscal 2025 revenues, a dependency the 10-K characterizes as expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Federal highway funding flows through the Highway Trust Fund, which the 10-K notes has faced insolvency as outlays have outpaced revenues, with annual shortfalls addressed through short-term measures. Any reduction in federal or state DOT budgets in the eight states ROAD operates — particularly after the IIJA's five-year authorization period — could weigh on contract availability and backlog conversion, especially if competition for a smaller pool of public projects intensifies pricing pressure.
