Latest analysis

Updated Oct 28, 2026

Comfort Systems USA posts $17.8B backlog and $9.9B YTD revenue through Q3 2026, with technology sector now 59% of project mix.

Comfort Systems USA's Q3 2026 investor presentation reveals a company operating at a fundamentally different scale than one year ago: backlog reached $17.8 billion at Q3 2026, up from $11.9 billion at year-end 2025, while nine-month revenue of $9.9 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.79 billion reflect the acceleration of technology-sector megaproject demand. With technology projects comprising 59% of YTD 2026 revenue, data center and chip manufacturing concentration is now the defining characteristic of the business, not a growth supplement. The balance sheet is effectively unlevered — Debt/TTM EBITDA of 0.02x with $2.16 billion cash — giving the company unambiguous capacity to pursue acquisitions or absorb project-level stress.
