Description: WLDN Willdan November 13, 2025
Willdan Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WLDN) delivers professional, technical, and consulting services across the United States through two primary segments: Energy, and Engineering & Consulting.
In the Energy segment, Willdan offers end-to-end solutions that include energy audits, demand-reduction programs, grid-optimization services, performance-contracting, and data-analytics platforms. The segment also handles turnkey infrastructure projects and alternative-financing arrangements for public-sector utilities and commercial clients.
The Engineering & Consulting segment focuses on municipal and institutional work such as building safety, city engineering, code enforcement, disaster-recovery planning, geotechnical and earthquake engineering, transportation studies, and water-resources services. It additionally provides district-administration, financial consulting, and federal-compliance support to a broad client base that includes cities, counties, school districts, universities, and investor-owned utilities.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023): revenue of approximately $1.2 billion, operating margin around 5 %, and a backlog exceeding $2.5 billion, indicating a strong pipeline of multi-year contracts. The company’s growth is being propelled by two macro-drivers: (1) sustained federal and state infrastructure spending-particularly the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act-and (2) accelerated demand for energy-efficiency and decarbonization services as utilities chase ESG targets and rate-payer incentives.
Willdan’s exposure to both the renewable-energy transition and the expanding municipal-engineering market gives it a diversified revenue base, but its profitability remains modest relative to peers, suggesting room for operational leverage as contract volumes scale.
If you want a data-rich, independent perspective on how Willdan’s valuation compares to its peers, ValueRay’s analyst toolkit provides the quantitative framework you need to dig deeper.
