Argan (AGX) Shares Fall After Record Q2 Earnings as Backlog Dips to $2.5 Billion

What happened: Argan (AGX) shares fell after the company reported record fiscal second-quarter results, with investors focusing on a backlog decline and weaker Industrial segment margins. Key numbers: Backlog fell to $2.5 billion from $2.9 billion. AGX closed at $348.24 on November 3, 2026, with a market capitalization of $4.34 billion. Why it matters: No major new power project was awarded in the period, and cost overruns on non-data-center projects hurt margins. With the stock up considerably earlier in the year, attention turned to award timing and margin durability.
