Tutor Perini (TPC): Time to Buy This Earnings Momentum Stock

Tutor Perini (TPC) is on a hot streak. I am talking about quarter after quarter of earnings beats that has led to a big rise in shares. And yet like many top stocks it has endured a round of profit taking allowing us to snap up shares at a nicely discounted price.  

I know, the idea of a construction company experiencing torrid earnings momentum is a bit of a brain teaser. So let me simplify this for you. 

$6.4 billion revenue in 2025

$19.9 billion backlog of new construction deals on the books.

Yes, more than 3 years of business already in the pipeline which points to great growth visibility going forward. This makes each earnings report that much less of a risk…and that much more likely to be a reward.  

But hey Reity, interest rates are on the rise and that is bad for future construction projects? 

I hear that. But in this case TPC specializes in large projects for the government like airports and other complex facilities. And as you might have noticed the government has no problem spending money rain or shine.  

Plain and simple, TPC is one of the best earnings momentum stories around that truly sparkles in the light of the Zen Ratings. Of course its A rated plus all these strong Component Grades:

Top 21% Financials

Top 16% Sentiment

Top 10% Safety

Top 6% Growth

As for Value, the Zen Ratings puts it in the top 1/3rd of all stocks. Not great…but certainly not bad either. 

However, sometimes its hard for the Zen Ratings to properly compare the value of a stock in one industry versus another. So here is my take. 

This stock soared to $102 after the previous beat and raise earnings report and since then endured a nearly 20% round of profit taking. I believe that gap will soon be filled with the next earnings report. 

After that I believe shares are easily worth $120 on current earnings outlook. And if the beat and raise tradition continues…then $150 is a reasonable landing spot by the end of 2027. 

That gives us plenty of reason to “build” a position in these impressive construction shares now in the mid $80’s 

What To Do Next?

Tutor Perini (TPC) is just one of 20 stellar stocks found in my Zen Investor portfolio.

The goal is to discover more stocks to double over the long haul. 

The odds of that feat are improved by combining the tremendous alpha found in the Zen Ratings model combined with my greater than 40 years of investing experience.  

Gladly we have booked several 100%+ winners this past year. That includes taking a rocket ride on Micron and SanDisk plus a few others that tipped the scales at over 100% gain. 

This no doubt explains why the Zen Investor portfolio is beating the S&P by 4 to 1 so far this year.
