Economic Moat
Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Profit margins and economic moats, explainedSome durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.
18.3% average over the last 3 years
±1.8 pts around 15.9% across 10 years
grew in 8 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 10 of 10 years

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical Analysis (Educational)
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what EME's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. EME trades near $723.94, below its 50-day average ($858.29) and 200-day average ($734.24). Price below both averages is a downtrend — momentum is against buyers for now.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 44 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. EME's is $32.82 (~4.5% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. In the month to Jul 6, 2026, EME found buyers near $763.43 (support) and sellers near $876.52 (resistance); its 52-week range then was $529.04–$951.96. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 1.2× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

EME trades at 24.1x trailing earnings (about 18.3x on estimated forward earnings), 2.2x sales, and 6.5x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 5.4% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is a fairly typical valuation for a profitable company.

Educational scenario model, not a forecast or investment advice. It starts from the latest annual revenue in SEC filings. By default, growth is trailing revenue growth (held between 3% and 45% a year), the net margin is the latest one (held between 3% and 50%, so a loss-making company is modeled with a small profit), and the Base case P/E runs from 60% to 100% of today's. Carrying recent growth forward five years can miss badly in either direction. Outputs are only as good as the assumptions.
Bull Case
The case for EME:
- Revenue is growing 18.3% a year, a sign of real demand.
- Strong return on equity (38.4%) shows capital is put to work well.
- A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.0x) lowers risk.
- Our model's overall read is Strong (72/100).
Bear Case
The case against EME:
- Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Key Risks
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
Investment Thesis
On balance, the fundamentals screen favourably: Emcor is a large-cap industrials business still growing nicely, with modest profitability, and a sound balance sheet. It trades at 24.1x earnings, which our model scores Strong (72/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.

Live price data plus real fundamentals and 5-year financials pulled directly from Emcor's SEC filings — refreshed automatically, not hand-entered.
How is the 5-year projection for EME calculated?
It's a scenario model. It starts from the latest annual revenue and net margin in SEC filings, grows revenue at an assumed rate (trailing revenue growth by default), and applies a P/E range built around today's multiple to show the resulting share-price range. When a stock has no growth or P/E data, the starting values are placeholders. It's a tool for thinking, not a prediction.
