About AZZ
AZZ makes its living protecting metal from corrosion and building electrical gear for heavy industry. Services include hot-dip and spin galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing and plating, plus welding work and engineered electrical products. Buyers come from power generation, transmission, distribution, refining and wider industrial fields, located both inside the United States and beyond its borders.
Operations run through two segments. One, Metal Coatings, finishes steel for fabricators and manufacturers whose parts end up in telecom towers, bridges, highways, petrochemical plants and other industrial gear, as well as original equipment makers. The other, Infrastructure Solutions, builds switchgear, protective enclosures, bus ducts rated for medium and high voltage, lighting made for explosive or hazardous settings, and tubular products, while also lending engineering help to large corporate buyers. Sales flow through a combination of company staff, outside representatives, distributors and independent agents.
Founded in 1956, AZZ runs its main office out of Fort Worth, Texas, and its stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker AZZ.

- What they said
- AZZ reported record third-quarter sales of $426M and record trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of $358M, driven by Metal Coatings strength (15.7% YoY) and improved Precoat Metals sequentially despite YoY softness. Adjusted EBITDA for quarter exceeded $91M. Management highlighted strong demand from infrastructure, data centers, solar, and food & beverage container growth tied to aluminum trends and the Washington, MO facility ramp. Gross margin slightly declined YoY to 23.9% of sales; operating income improved to 16.3% of sales from 14.5% driven by operational improvements and fewer one-offs. Company narrowed FY26 guidance: sales $1.625B–$1.7B, adjusted EBITDA $360M–$380M, adjusted EPS $5.90–$6.20. Management discussed disciplined M&A bolt-on strategy, capital allocation (dividend maintained), share buybacks, debt reduction, and potential tuck-in acquisitions. Q&A reinforced confidence in Metal Coatings momentum, Precoat bottoming with opportunities from tariffs/replace imports, ramp benefits from Washington plant, favorable weather comp for fiscal Q4, and growth tailwinds from data centers and metal reroofing adoption.
- Guidance
- Sales: $1.625B–$1.7B; Adjusted EBITDA: $360M–$380M; Adjusted diluted EPS: $5.90–$6.20. Management expects to release FY27 guidance in next few weeks. No other quantitative guidance provided.
- Risks flagged
- Risks mentioned include weaker nonresidential/residential construction demand, tariff-related uncertainty, excess imported prepainted metal in the market (pipeline fill), weather-related production disruptions (prior-year cold/wet quarter), AVAIL JV losses and divestiture-related post-closing adjustments. Macroeconomic risks such as interest rates and government shutdowns were discussed but said to have minimal direct impact.
