Dycom Industries (DY) is in focus as investors watch its upcoming quarterly earnings report, with projections calling for earnings of $4.56 per share and revenue of $1.92b, both indicating year-over-year growth.

The accelerating buildout of fiber-to-the-home and data center connectivity, supported by Dycom Industries reporting nearly 60% first half fiber-to-the-home revenue growth and record quarterly revenue of US$2.01b, is translating into a larger, longer duration work slate that is already embedded in the roughly US$12.2b backlog and can continue to support contract revenue and EBITDA growth.
