Smith added, “For several years, the team at PLT Construction Company has been successfully partnering with the Rose Brothers organization we acquired last October on a variety of projects, and now we will have the opportunity to continue their shared legacy of high-quality work in this part of the state as a single, unified organization.”
Last month, Raymond James analyst Joshua Wilson reiterated a Buy rating on the stock and a $35 price target (15% upside potential).
Wilson commented, “We continue to find Construction Partners’ exposure to rising population trends in the Southeast, increased infrastructure spending, and myriad M&A opportunities attractive.”
