Primoris sued in securities class action over renewable project cost claims
A PR Newswire release says investors have until Sept. 21, 2026, to seek lead-plaintiff status in a securities fraud class action against Primoris Services Corp.
A securities fraud class action has been filed against Primoris Services Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, according to a PR Newswire release from Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP. The notice says the case is captioned Boston Retirement System v. Primoris Services Corporation, No. 3:26-cv-02416, and that investors have until Sept. 21, 2026, to seek lead-plaintiff status.
The complaint, as summarized in the release, alleges that Primoris misstated or failed to disclose problems in its renewables business, including cost estimation, cost-to-complete forecasting and project oversight on fixed-price renewable-energy work. The release says those issues led the company to underestimate costs and risks tied to cost overruns, execution problems and schedule delays.
The proposed class includes investors who purchased or acquired Primoris common stock between Aug. 5, 2025, and June 22, 2026, inclusive. Primoris trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PRIM.
According to the release, the alleged disclosure cycle began with Primoris's Feb. 23, 2026, announcement of fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results. The company said it had seen increased costs on certain renewable-energy projects, more challenging soil conditions and margin compression in its Energy segment. The release says the stock fell $13.72, or 8.3%, to $151.92 on Feb. 24.
Primoris cut its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance on May 5, 2026, to $480 million to $500 million from $560 million to $580 million. The release says the company tied that move to lower renewable-energy activity, delayed project starts and higher costs, and that the stock fell $101.69, or 50.11%, to $101.23 on May 6.
On June 8, 2026, Primoris announced the immediate departure of its president of renewables. The release says the shares fell $18.92, or 15.4%, to $103.90 the next day. On June 22, Primoris announced the departure of its chief operating officer and a further reduction in its 2026 outlook. The release says the company cited cost overruns and delays on six projects, and that the stock fell $23.39, or 21.6%, to $84.95.
The release also says Primoris expects lower revenue and gross profit for full-year 2026, mainly because of its renewables business, and now sees full-year renewables revenue at $2.1 billion to $3 billion.
No court ruling or company response was included in the release. The notice lists attorney Jonathan Naji as a contact and says there is no cost or obligation to speak with an attorney.
