Company Overview - Fluor Corporation, headquartered in Irving, Texas, provides engineering, procurement, construction, and project management services globally, with its Urban Solutions segment being the largest revenue driver among its three segments [2].

Financial Performance - Despite the ongoing issues, FLR reaffirmed its financial guidance in May 2025. However, on August 1, 2025, the company reported second-quarter results that significantly missed expectations, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.43 (missing by $0.13) and revenue of $3.98 billion (missing by $570 million) [4]. - Following these disappointing results, FLR cut its full-year guidance and experienced a stock price drop of 27.04%, closing at $41.42 on August 1, 2025.
