ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Argan, Inc. (NYSE: AGX) (“Argan” or the “Company”) today announces that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.375 per share of common stock. The dividend will be payable on July 31, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 23, 2025. David Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Argan commented, “Argan has paid dividends consistently since 2011 and has returned over $21.

Argan kicked off FY26 with nearly 23% YoY revenue growth and a sharp EPS beat, driven by strong execution in its Power Services segment. Multiple large-scale projects underway and a record $1.9B backlog provide strong visibility for continued top line momentum in the quarters ahead. Secular tailwinds from AI-driven power demand, reshoring, and energy transition position AGX for multi-year growth.

Argan Inc (AGX) Q1 earnings were a beat and a success, a solid win for shareholders rewarded with a pop in share price, up 8% on the announcement. The company continues to hold no debt, practice prudent cash management, and build its backlog, now at a record and headline-worthy $2B. I continue to hold my shares of Argan steadfastly, not trimming here (though I'm not buying any stocks at the moment), and am a believer in their operations' continued efficiency.

Argan is enjoying strong fundamental momentum, with record order book growth and robust results driven by power sector tailwinds. AGX's valuation is stretched, with a forward PE ratio far above sector and historical averages, leaving little margin for error. The company's lack of a true economic moat makes its extraordinary growth unsustainable, as rising competition will likely erode margins and returns over time.

Construction and engineering services provider Argan (AGX 8.47%) was a big hit on the stock exchange Thursday, a direct result of the far better-than-expected quarterly results it posted the day before. Investors plowed into the company to give it an 8% lift on the day, providing a notable contrast to the S&P 500's (^GSPC -0.53%) 0.5% decrease.

Argan has delivered outstanding growth in revenue, profits, and backlog, far outpacing the S&P 500 and my initial expectations. Recent quarterly results show surging profitability, expanding margins, and strong cash flow, driven by large-scale energy and infrastructure projects. The company's massive backlog and exposure to AI, data centers, EVs, and renewable energy position it for continued long-term growth.
