Tutor Perini (TPC) has drawn investor attention after recent share price swings, including a 4.1% decline over the past day and a 14.5% drop over the past month, despite solid reported profitability and revenue.
See our latest analysis for Tutor Perini.
The recent 1 day share price return of 4.1% decline and 30 day share price return of 14.5% decline sit in sharp contrast to a very large 1 year total shareholder return. This suggests momentum has cooled after a strong run as investors reassess risk and future prospects around the current US$69.34 share price.

With Tutor Perini reporting profitability, annual revenue and net income growth, and trading at a large discount to an analyst price target and an estimated intrinsic value, is there still a buying opportunity here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 24.2% Undervalued
Against the last close of $69.34, the most followed narrative pegs Tutor Perini's fair value at $91.50, implying a sizeable discount that hinges on a specific long term project and capital return story.
Record backlog growth, now at an all time high of $21.1 billion (up 102% YoY), provides strong visibility and multi year revenue predictability as a series of major projects ramp up over the next several years. Sustained federal and state infrastructure funding, particularly for large scale transit and civil projects (Midtown Bus Terminal, Sepulveda Transit Corridor, Indo Pacific Defense contracts), is fueling robust project pipeline expansion, favorably impacting both future revenue and long term earnings growth.
Curious what turns that backlog and funding pipeline into a higher fair value estimate? The narrative focuses on faster earnings compounding, firmer margins, and a future valuation multiple that differs from today's market view.
Result: Fair Value of $91.50 (UNDERVALUED)
