Description: STRL Sterling Construction November 04, 2025

Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ: STRL) operates three core segments: E-Infrastructure Solutions, delivering site-development services for blue-chip e-commerce, data-center, manufacturing, warehousing, and power-generation clients; Transportation Solutions, focused on the design, construction, and rehabilitation of highways, bridges, airports, ports, rail, and storm-drainage infrastructure for public-sector agencies; and Building Solutions, which provides concrete foundations, parking structures, elevated slabs, and related plumbing and surveying services for residential and commercial developers.

The company, originally founded in 1955 as Sterling Construction Company, rebranded to Sterling Infrastructure in June 2022 and is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. It remains classified under the Construction & Engineering sub-industry in the GICS taxonomy.

Key performance indicators that analysts watch include: (1) a backlog of roughly $1.2 billion as of Q2 2024, indicating future revenue visibility; (2) year-over-year revenue growth of 8 % driven by strong demand for e-commerce distribution centers and data-center build-outs; and (3) operating margin expansion to 6.5 % after cost-control initiatives. The segment’s outlook is closely tied to macro drivers such as U.S. infrastructure spending (the bipartisan infrastructure law adds $1.2 trillion in funding), labor-market tightness in skilled trades, and the continued acceleration of online retail logistics.
