Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis

AI Summary
AGX's reclassification from a lumpy contractor to a capitalâlight, backlogâdriven project platform (large EPC awards, rising FCF, no interestâbearing debt) justifies a materially higher multiple but the investment hinges on timely, marginâaccretive conversion of its ~$3â4B backlog and the management of ~$452M deferred revenueâmonitor quarterly backlog conversion rates, gross margins on top contracts (Gemma Power/CPV), and deferredârevenue recognition closely for nearâterm valuation risk.
