Key Takeaways:
Primoris (NYSE: PRIM) investors have until September 21 to seek lead plaintiff in a securities class action over renewable project costs.
"Primoris' cost estimation, cost-to-complete forecasting, and project oversight processes were deficient and failed to provide reliable estimates of the costs and expected profitability of significant fixed-price renewable energy projects," the complaint in Boston Retirement System v. Primoris Services Corporation, No. 26-cv-02416 (N.D. Tex.), alleges.
The class period runs from August 5, 2025 to June 22, 2026. The lawsuit charges Primoris and certain current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Robbins LLP, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, and Rosen Law Firm are among the firms announcing the action.
Primoris is an infrastructure services company providing engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance services. The complaint alleges the company systematically underestimated costs and risks on significant fixed-price renewable energy projects that were experiencing material cost overruns, execution problems, and schedule delays.
The allegations center on four disclosures. On February 23, 2026, Primoris reported Q4 and full-year 2025 results, disclosing increased costs on certain renewable energy projects and margin compression in its Energy segment. PRIM stock fell 8 percent. On May 5, 2026, the company cut full-year 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance from $5.80-$6.00 to $4.80-$5.00 and lowered Adjusted EBITDA guidance. PRIM stock fell approximately 50 percent.
On June 8, 2026, Anthony Vorderbruggen, President of Renewables, departed effective immediately, sending PRIM down approximately 15 percent. On June 22, 2026, Primoris issued a Business Update identifying substantial challenges, cost overruns, and project delays affecting six renewable energy projects. The company cut full-year 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance to $2.05-$2.60, lowered Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $275 million-$325 million, projected 2026 Renewables revenue of approximately $2.1 billion, and announced the resignation of COO Jeremy Kinch. PRIM stock fell 22 percent.
The cumulative decline across these disclosures represents a substantial erosion of shareholder value for a company that reported higher revenue in Q4 2025 but saw profitability squeezed by project execution failures. The lead plaintiff deadline of September 21, 2026, will determine which investor directs the litigation, with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act requiring the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought.
The class action adds legal and reputational pressure to Primoris as it navigates renewable project cost overruns that have already triggered multiple guidance cuts. Investors will watch for the court's lead plaintiff appointment and any further project updates from the company.
