Lead Plaintiff motion deadline- $ECG investors filed a claim against Everus Construction for concealing delays in project timelines that would negatively affect revenue conversion.
- After revealing slower-than-expected backlog conversion and a weak 2025 forecast, $ECG dropped 27.6% over two days.
Case Details:
On October 31, 2024, Everus Construction Group began trading on the NYSE after being spun off from MDU Resources. The company presented itself as a stable infrastructure contractor with a record $2.88 billion backlog and steady revenue growth. Management repeatedly assured investors that the company was well positioned for profitability, citing “strong momentum” and a healthy project pipeline.
Throughout late 2024, Everus issued multiple public statements reinforcing guidance and highlighting consistent demand. However, it failed to disclose that a growing share of its backlog consisted of larger, more complex, multi-year projects, which would push revenue recognition far into the future.
On February 11, 2025, Everus reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results and finally admitted that its backlog conversion would be “extended” compared to historical trends. The company guided lower-than-expected 2025 revenue ($3.0–$3.1B) and EBITDA ($210–$225M)—signaling that previously implied growth targets would be missed.
Following the news, $ECG dropped 27.6% in two days.
Based on these events, $ECG investors filed a claim against Everus Construction, accusing the company of the following:
- It misled investors by failing to disclose the true composition and delayed timing of its backlog.
- It reaffirmed aggressive guidance while knowing that revenue would be pushed into future periods.
Considering all the representations, investors believe Everus concealed material risks about project execution timelines and misrepresented short-term growth potential.
