Where AGX is headed

Argan's backlog at the last print sat north of $2 billion and the pipeline behind it is bigger than the company itself. That is the reality of building combined-cycle gas plants in 2026: there are maybe half a dozen EPC firms in North America that can actually execute a 1+ GW project on time, and Argan (through Gemma Power) is one of the two you call first. The rest of the industry spent the 2010s losing money on renewables fixed-price contracts (see Fluor, see McDermott, see what's left of Black & Veatch's appetite). Argan spent that decade being boring, cash-generative, and picky. Now the phone rings off the hook.
