Sep 28 close
Dycom Industries has fallen to a 52-week low this week, touching $271.88, with headlines pointing to a backlog surging to $12.2 billion and continued strength in Building Systems and Power Solutions. The company is projecting 10%-12% organic growth for fiscal year 2027, citing fiber deployments, BEAD-funded projects, and accelerating data center infrastructure demand. Alongside the decline, director Carmen Sabater purchased 350 shares for $98,217, and commentary has framed the pullback as disconnected from the underlying growth story.
The stock closed at $266.79, down 1.7% on the day and down 13.4% over the past month, with the 50-day average at $353.98 and the 200-day at $390.14, both above the current price. The GekkoIndex reads 67.2, placing DY in the Accumulation zone. Price sits 28.3% below the Gekko Fair Value of $372.2.
Over the next 20 trading days, no earnings report falls within the window, with the next date set for 24 November, 56 days away.
