Aecon says its backlog sat at $10.5 billion during the quarter, compared with a backlog of $10.7 billion during last year’s second quarter. 

Based on the backlog and other factors, Aecon says it is expecting double-digit revenue growth in 2026. 

Jean-Louis Servranckx, Aecon’s CEO, says the company benefited during the quarter from contract awards in sectors with attractive demand profiles.
