SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Primoris Services Corporation (NYSE: PRIM)<\/strong> and certain current and former executives who are alleged to have misled investors about the company\u2019s project management capabilities. It seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Primoris common stock between August 5, 2025 and June 22, 2026.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit follows a second massive selloff in Primoris shares in six weeks \u2013 this time on June 23, 2026, when shares cratered another $23.29 (-21%). The first occurred on May 6, 2026, when Primoris shares crashed $101.69 (-50%). Both were triggered by surprise revelations of Primoris\u2019 project management problems.<\/p>\n

The disclosures\u2019 toll was to erase well over $6 billion from Primoris\u2019 market capitalization between May 5, 2026 and June 23, 2026.<\/p>\n

National shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman continues its investigation into claims that Primoris and the other Defendants violated the federal securities laws and encourages investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now<\/a>. The firm also encourages persons with knowledge who may be able to assist the investigation to contact its attorneys.<\/p>\n

\n Primoris Services Corporation (PRIM) Securities Class Action:<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

During the Class Period, defendants repeatedly assured investors that Primoris maintained \u201cdisciplined bidding,\u201d \u201cwell-developed estimating processes,\u201d effective project controls, and reliable forecasting that enabled it to accurately price and execute fixed-price renewable energy projects, \u201cmanage risk,\u201d and reliably forecast revenues, margins, and earnings.<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges that, in contrast to these assurances (and unknown to investors), the Defendants did not disclose that Primoris\u2019 estimating, cost-to-complete forecasting, and project oversight processes were woefully deficient. As a result, the company systematically underestimated project costs and risks on multiple significant renewable energy projects.<\/p>\n

Investors learned the truth through a series of partial disclosures:<\/p>\n

First, in February 2026, Primoris management attributed lower gross margins to \u201cunexpectedly higher costs\u201d at certain renewables projects, citing difficult soil and rock conditions that required additional labor and equipment. While management later downplayed the issue as being isolated to a single project\u2014expressing confidence in their remedial measures\u2014they simultaneously touted the company\u2019s ability to \u201caccelerate project timelines\u201d for 2026.<\/p>\n

Second, on May 5, 2026, the market\u2019s confidence in Primoris\u2019 remedial measures was shattered when the company released its Q1 2026 financial results and revealed a staggering decline in the core Energy segment, with year-over-year revenues falling by $152.9 million (13.8%) and gross profits plunging by nearly 40%.<\/p>\n

CEO Koti Vadlamudi admitted the next day during the May 6 earnings call that Primoris\u2019 financial results were battered by cost pressures across multiple solar projects. Moving beyond the \u201crock and soil\u201d reason used just months prior, Vadlamudi cited a litany of execution-related factors as the cause of the margin collapse:<\/p>\n
