What this transaction means for investors
After a massive run, it’s not unusual for an investor to seemingly lock in gains. Primoris closed 2025 with revenue of roughly $7.6 billion, up 19% compared to the previous year, with fourth-quarter revenue alone of $1.9 billion, while adjusted EBITDA for the year climbed 22% to $531 million.
In other words, the company is delivering solid growth, but the stock’s surge also changes the risk profile. Shares have climbed more than 120% over the past year, far outpacing the broader market and pushing valuation expectations higher.
The broader portfolio context also helps explain the move. The fund still holds several infrastructure and industrial exposures, including engineering and energy service companies, meaning the exit looks more like portfolio rebalancing than a broad rejection of the theme. Ultimately, Primoris remains tied to a powerful infrastructure spending cycle, but after such a dramatic rally, lofty expectations might be a good opportunity to lock in gains.
