ClearBridge Small Cap Value Strategy made the following comment about Primoris Services Corporation (NASDAQ:PRIM) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

“Likewise, Primoris Services Corporation (NASDAQ:PRIM), which provides a range of construction, fabrication, maintenance, replacement and engineering services, also delivered strong performance during the period. The stock rebounded from a decline in the third quarter as margins improved from pricing catching up with cost inflation, which had weighed on the company’s performance through 2022. Primoris Services’s orders backlog also increased to an all-time high, despite much of the infrastructure work stemming from government legislation still not having reached bidding stage. We believe demand for Primoris’s services will be strong for many years to come and be a long-term driver of returns in the portfolio.”
