Did FIX Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results

Comfort Systems USA delivered a standout second quarter for fiscal 2026, posting earnings per share of $12.53 against a Wall Street consensus of $10.46, a beat of nearly 20% that extended the company's winning streak to five consecutive quarters of topping EPS estimates. Revenue of $3.27 billion climbed 50.3% year over year and cleared analyst forecasts by 9.25%, as surging demand across commercial, industrial, and institutional HVAC and electrical contracting markets drove the top line well ahead of expectations. The single most striking figure in the quarter was operating cash flow of $1.14 billion, compared to $252.50 million in the same period a year ago, reflecting both sharply expanded margins, with gross margin widening to 25.9% from 23.5%, and disciplined cost control that trimmed SG&A as a percentage of revenue to 8.8% from 9.7%. Backlog of $14.06 billion as of June 30, growing organically on a same-store basis from $8.12 billion a year ago to $13.70 billion, provides strong revenue visibility, and CEO Brian Lane expressed confidence in results for the remainder of 2026 and well into 2027.

Forward Guidance & Outlook

Same-store backlog growth from $8.12 billion to $13.70 billion year over year indicates strong organic demand trends.
