EMCOR Group (EME)
Electrical + mechanical construction (EMCOR) — data-center build + MEP services
AI exposure 36% — derived from reported segment revenue, not asserted.
Where it sits
Physical Infrastructure → Grid Infrastructure Contractors · figures rebased to Q2 2026, reported 2026-07-30
Mechanical construction (HVAC, cooling, piping for data centers) leads 4 businesses in this sub-tier that together are 100% of revenue, so Grid Infrastructure Contractors is effectively the whole company rather than one leg of it.
Reported segments
- US Construction (Mechanical + Electrical) — 77% of revenue
- Building + Industrial Services — 23% of revenue
EMCOR (~$20.0-20.5B FY2026 guided; UK arm divested) — mechanical/electrical construction & services. US Construction ~77% (mechanical ~45% = data-center cooling/HVAC + electrical ~32% = data-center power = the AI growth driver, primary B2 Grid Contractors; record RPO $17.14B +44% YoY, awards led by AI/data-center) + Building/Industrial Services ~23%. Primary B2 Grid Infrastructure Contractors. Builds data-center mechanical+electrical systems; competes PWR/FIX; serves hyperscalers/colos.
How the 36% is built
- US Construction (Mechanical + Electrical) — 77% of revenue × 45% AI-driven (disclosed). EMCOR discloses revenue by market sector: Network & Communications was 52% of the US electrical construction segment (10-Q, three months ended Mar 31 2026, vs 47% a year earlier), and in Q2 2026 electrical N&C grew 45% while mechanical N&C more than doubled on $2.30B of mechanical revenue — a blended ~46% across the…
- Building + Industrial Services — 23% of revenue × 5% AI-driven (estimate). Building Services ($837.7M, +5.6%) and Industrial Services ($353.8M, +25.9%) serve mostly non-data-center commercial and refinery customers; some mission-critical facilities maintenance attaches to delivered campuses, but it is not broken out
Investment read
Moat. Mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) construction scale + execution + services; data-center + reshoring + electrification demand, record backlog.
Bottleneck / pricing power. Strong pricing power via backlog + skilled-labor scarcity (MEP crews); data-center + manufacturing buildout fills the book at good margins.
Role in the AI stack. The MEP-construction layer for data centers + reshoring.
Connected companies
- Digital Realty Trust (DLR) — EME supplies: mechanical/electrical build
- Quanta Services (PWR) — EME competes with: Overlap on data-center electrical construction; Quanta is utility T&D-led, EMCOR is facility MEP-led (limited direct grid overlap)
- Comfort Systems USA (FIX) — EME competes with: Mechanical/electrical (MEP) contracting + data center build
- MYR Group (MYRG) — EME competes with: Overlap in commercial/industrial electrical construction (incl. data centers); MYR smaller and T&D-weighted vs EMCOR's broad MEP scale
- Dycom Industries (DY) — EME competes with: adjacent data-center construction overlap — Dycom (outside-plant fiber) vs EMCOR (building MEP)
- Microsoft (MSFT) — EME supplies: mechanical/electrical construction for Microsoft data centers
- Meta Platforms (META) — EME supplies: data-center construction for Meta
- Amazon (AMZN) — EME supplies: data-center construction for AWS
