As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on August 3, 2026.

Ameresco reported Q2 2026 revenue of $515.5 million, clearing the consensus estimate of $460.7 million by nearly 12%. The earnings picture was similarly clean: non-GAAP EPS of $0.20 came in just ahead of the $0.1998 estimate, extending a recent streak of beats that includes Q2 2025, Q3 2025, Q4 2025, and now this quarter.
The headline number behind the quarter is $1.2 billion in data center power awards booked in a single three-month stretch. Management has identified behind-the-meter generation — supplying power directly to sites that cannot access the grid — as its primary growth engine, a positioning that puts Ameresco squarely in the path of surging demand from hyperscale and colocation operators struggling to secure reliable electricity.
