Where Will Fluor Stock Be in 1 Year?

Fluor (FLR) has repositioned over 80% of its contract backlog into reimbursable agreements, a strategic shift from fixed-price work that exposed the engineering and construction firm to pandemic-era losses. The company recently liquidated its NuScale stake for $1.86 billion in profit, providing fresh capital as it pursues opportunities in cloud infrastructure, AI data centers, industrial facilities, and nuclear projects.

Analysts project adjusted EPS growth of 18% in 2026 and 28% in 2027, according to The Motley Fool. The reimbursable contract model transfers more project risk to clients while securing steadier margins for Fluor. Combined with tailwinds from expanding tech infrastructure and energy transition spending, the structural shift underpins expectations for 28% stock appreciation over the next 12 months if current multiples hold.

The $1.86 billion NuScale exit removes a volatile equity stake from the balance sheet while funding potential backlog expansion in higher-margin sectors. Fluor's exposure to AI-driven data center construction and nuclear modernization aligns with two multi-year capital expenditure cycles.
