What matters this quarter

Fluor posted Q2 new awards of $6.1 billion and backlog of $26.9 billion, but is narrowing its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $500–$525 million from $525–$560 million due to the removal of expected Mexico JV contributions, and recorded a $44 million cost growth charge on the Gordie Howe bridge project.
