Matrix Service Company (NASDAQ:MTRX) Just Reported, And Analysts Assigned A US$17.00 Price Target

Yahoo11-05-2025

As you might know, Matrix Service Company (NASDAQ:MTRX) last week released its latest third-quarter, and things did not turn out so great for shareholders. It was a pretty negative result overall, with revenues of US$200m missing analyst predictions by 6.9%. Worse, the business reported a statutory loss of US$0.12 per share, much larger than the analysts had forecast prior to the result. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.
We check all companies for important risks. See what we found for Matrix Service in our free report.
Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Matrix Service's two analysts is for revenues of US$1.01b in 2026. This reflects a huge 36% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Matrix Service is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of US$1.08 per share. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$1.05b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$1.04 in 2026. So it's pretty clear that while sentiment around revenues has declined following the latest results, the analysts are now more bullish on the company's earnings power.
Check out our latest analysis for Matrix Service
The consensus price target fell 5.6% to US$17.00, with the analysts signalling that the weaker revenue outlook was a more powerful indicator than the upgraded EPS forecasts.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Matrix Service's past performance and to peers in the same industry. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Matrix Service is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 28% annualised growth until the end of 2026. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 6.4% annual decline over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 7.7% annually. So it looks like Matrix Service is expected to grow faster than its competitors, at least for a while.
The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Matrix Service's earnings potential next year. Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, but the latest forecasts still imply the business will grow faster than the wider industry. Even so, long term profitability is more important for the value creation process. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Matrix Service's future valuation.
With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Matrix Service. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have analyst estimates for Matrix Service going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.

Trump energy adviser slams renewables, says focus is on fossil fuels

President Donald Trump is a fan of fossil fuels who is determined to boost oil and gas and turn away from renewables — regardless of what some energy executives, fellow Republicans or even Elon Musk have to say on the matter, one of his top energy advisers said Tuesday. 'What I would say is the president is in charge,' said Jarrod Agen, a deputy assistant to the president and executive director of the White House's National Energy Dominance Council, at POLITICO's annual Energy Summit. 'The last thing we want is in the short term to have any problems with the grid,' he added. Advertisement Trump believes that fossil fuels got a 'bad deal' under former President Joe Biden, and the current administration will continue to double down on traditional energy, Agen said. That is despite economic uncertainty brought on during Trump's term that has roiled energy markets.

Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) confirmed the White House has scheduled the signings at 11 a.m. Thursday.

Energy secretary is forced to defend Trump's Empire Wind rescue

Energy Secretary Chris Wright was thrust into the uncomfortable position of defending the Trump administration's decision to save a New York offshore wind project that it had pushed to the brink of collapse. Wright was pressed about the rationale for lifting a stop-work order on Empire Wind 1 during an interview Monday with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum. The Energy secretary is an unlikely defender of the decision. A former oil executive, he has repeatedly criticized wind and solar as electricity sources since taking over the department. He also has limited authority over offshore wind development, which is located almost exclusively in federal waters and is regulated by the Interior Department. Yet his comments offer the most detailed explanation to date about the administration's move to reverse the order that had halted construction on the project in mid-April. Advertisement 'The global record of offshore wind has been a train wreck. It's just been very expensive electricity and intermittent electricity has driven prices up. But Empire Wind's a trickier issue because it's well under construction and billions have already been spent. So it's tricky what to do with midstream projects,' Wright said. 'More important for New York by far is to build the Constitution and the NESE [Northeast Energy Supply Enhancement] pipelines that can bring lower cost, cleaner energy to New Yorkers, lower the cost of home heating, lower the cost of electricity.'
