Fluor First-Quarter Results Miss Street Views; Lowers Top End of Full-Year Earnings Outlook

Fluor (FLR) reported weaker-than-expected first-quarter results on Friday while the engineering and construction company lowered the top end of its full-year earnings outlook.Adjusted earnings came in at $0.14 a share for the March quarter, down from $0.73 the year before, well below the FactSet-polled consensus of $0.62. Revenue fell 8% to $3.66 billion, trailing the Street's view for $3.89 billion.The stock tanked 12% in Friday trade. It's up 13% so far this year.For 2026, Fluor now anticipates adjusted EPS to come in between $2.60 and $2.80, Chief Financial Officer John Regan said during an earnings call, according to a FactSet transcript. In February, Regan said the company projected the metric to be at $2.60 to $3, while the current average analyst estimate is for non-GAAP EPS of $2.76.Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is now pegged at $525 million to $560 million for the ongoing year, reflecting a lower top end versus the previous guidance for $585 million.The outlook revision reflects cost growth on a mining project in the Americas in the first quarter and a temporary slowdown on another project due to geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, according to Fluor. The company noted that the rest of its overall business "continues to deliver at or above expectations.""The strong growth potential of our business is not impacted by the project charge in the quarter," Chief Executive Jim Breuer said in a statement. "With a disciplined project delivery model and strong liquidity, we are positioned to convert our growing pipeline, expand margins, and deliver sustained profitable growth."Revenue in the urban solutions segment increased to $2.44 billion from $2.16 billion in the 2025 quarter. The energy solutions division saw revenue decline to $703 million from $1.21 billion, reflecting reduced execution activity on several projects nearing completion, according to the company.The mission solutions business logged revenue of $523 million, down from $597 million a year ago.Price: $45.03, Change: $-6.05, Percent Change: -11.84%

Australia Orders LNG Exporters to Reserve 20% of Gas for Local Market, IEEFA Says

Australia will force LNG exporters on the country's east coast to reserve 20% of their supply for domestic users from July 2027, to ease shortages and lower prices, strategists at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis said in a note on Friday.IEEFA analysts said the reservation policy is expected to create a modest oversupply of gas in eastern Australia and to put downward pressure on prices that have about tripled since LNG exports from Queensland began in 2015.The policy comes as the Australian Energy Market Operator has warned that eastern Australia could face gas shortages by 2029 as output from legacy offshore fields in the Gippsland Basin declines.The country's Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King said the government would legislate the domestic supply obligation while allowing exporters to honor existing long-term export commitments signed before Dec. 22, 2025.Kevin Morrison, energy finance analyst, Australian Oil and Gas, IEEFA, said Australia is one of the world's largest LNG exporters, shipping about 80% of its gas production mainly to Asian buyers, including Japan, China and South Korea.Morrison said concerns over domestic supply have intensified as manufacturers and chemical producers grapple with high energy costs.The reservation policy will apply to LNG producers operating in Queensland, where three major export plants at Gladstone were developed over the past decade.IEEFA said the rapid expansion of LNG exports from eastern Australia's domestic gas market to international prices is contributing to the closure of some gas-dependent industries, including fertilizer plants.Meanwhile, the consultancy said the policy could also reshape dynamics among LNG exporters.Two Queensland LNG ventures, Origin Energy's Australia Pacific LNG and Shell-operated (SHEL) Queensland Curtis LNG, already supply the domestic market. Santos-led Gladstone LNG has relied heavily on buying gas from third-party producers to meet export commitments.Morrison said the practice reduced gas available to local users and contributed to higher prices and supply concerns.The reservation policy mirrors Western Australia's domestic gas policy, introduced in 2006, which broadly requires LNG exporters to reserve 15% of output for local use. However, IEEFA noted compliance has been weak, with only 8% of gas supplied domestically in 2023.IEEFA said the effectiveness of the new policy would depend on the final legislation and consultation process, noting that loopholes could dilute its impact on domestic supply.Price: $84.53, Change: $+0.29, Percent Change: +0.34%
