Stars
Clean Energy Transmission Projects
As of late 2025, high-voltage transmission for grid modernization is a high-growth sector, with global transmission investment projected at $210 billion in 2025 (IEA) and US transmission spend up 18% YoY; MYR Group holds an estimated 25–30% share in utility-scale transmission labor markets. MYR leverages a 3,000+ skilled workforce and ~400 specialized crews to win large-scale contracts, driving 2025 guidance where transmission backlog rose 22% to $1.9 billion. Projects need heavy capex for specialized stringing gear and mobile substations, yet transmission remains MYR’s primary growth engine and strategic moat.
Utility-Scale Solar EPC Services
MYR Group’s Utility-Scale Solar EPC sits in the Stars quadrant after revenue from Renewables rose 48% in 2024, driven by US federal tax incentives and 22 GW utility PV additions that year; MYR reported a 2024 renewables backlog near $1.1B, signaling strong growth potential.
The segment faces fierce competition and rapid tech change—storage pairing and tracker optimization—so MYR reinvested ~9–11% of segment revenue in 2024 capex and R&D to retain top-tier status with independent power producers across North America.
Substation Infrastructure Expansion
Demand for new and upgraded substations rose ~12% CAGR 2020–2025 as grids decentralize and renewables hit 26% of US generation in 2024; MYR Group (MYRG) sits as a market leader, executing long-term master service agreements with major national utilities covering ~40% of its transmission/substation backlog as of Q3 2025.
These substation projects tie up working capital—MYR reported $430m in backlog and used $120m cash for materials and labor in FY 2024—but they secure pricing power and repeat revenue that underpin long-term leadership in a high-growth segment.
Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure is a Star for MYR Group’s Commercial & Industrial segment, driven by a projected 28% CAGR in U.S. public/fleet charging installs 2024–2028 and MYR’s reported ~$120M backlog in electrification projects as of Q3 2025.
Early-mover wins with municipalities and fleets have given MYR a top-quartile enterprise share in target regions, but sustaining growth needs ongoing investment in technician training and partner tech integrations.
- 28% projected CAGR (2024–2028) for U.S. public/fleet installs
- $120M electrification project backlog (Q3 2025)
- Early-mover market-share gains with municipalities/fleets
- Need: continuous technical training and strategic partnerships
Grid Resiliency and Hardening
Increased climate-related risks have driven US utilities to spend an estimated $120–150 billion on grid hardening and resiliency upgrades through 2030; MYR Group (MYRG) is a primary contractor on multi-year programs, leveraging scale to win large contracts and manage complex deployments.
This remains a Star in MYR’s BCG matrix because demand is urgent, market CAGR for grid resiliency services is ~8–10% (2024–2030), and MYR’s 2024 backlog of $2.1 billion shows proven execution under extreme-weather conditions.
- Addressable market: $120–150B to 2030
- Sector CAGR: ~8–10% (2024–2030)
- MYR 2024 backlog: $2.1B
- Competitive edge: scale for multi-year programs
MYR: $4.7B Grid Backlog Fuels Transmission, Renewables, EV Charging & Resiliency

Cash Cows
Traditional Transmission Maintenance
Routine maintenance of high-voltage transmission lines is a mature market where MYR Group (MYR) held roughly a 12–15% U.S. market share in 2024, producing steady, high-margin cash flow—transmission/utility services made up about 48% of MYR’s $2.8B 2024 revenue.
Regional Distribution Services
MYR Group’s regional distribution services deliver steady revenue from long-term utility contracts—these operations accounted for roughly $1.1 billion or ~58% of MYR’s 2024 revenue (FY ended Dec 31, 2024), reflecting low growth but high entry barriers that protect local market share.
Margins here are stable; operating cash flow from distribution funded about $120 million of capital deployment in 2024, helping service net debt of ~$220 million (Q4 2024) and finance expansion into renewables.
Core Commercial Electrical Construction
Core Commercial Electrical Construction—standard electrical work for office and traditional commercial spaces—remains MYR Group’s mature, low-growth cash cow, generating steady margins; in 2024 MYR reported consolidated gross margin ~13.8% and Stable C&I backlog of $2.1B supporting recurring cash flow. The segment’s scale and national footprint let MYR deliver high utilization and low bidding risk, funding investments and smoothing quarterly volatility. The unit underpins Commercial & Industrial stability, covering corporate overhead and enabling higher-growth line expansion.
Industrial Facility Maintenance
Industrial facility maintenance delivers steady, recurring revenue for MYR Group through ongoing electrical services to manufacturing plants, showing ~6–8% organic revenue stability in 2024 and low capital intensity versus project work.
These established markets let MYR focus on operational efficiency and cost control to lift adjusted EBITDA margins—MYR reported 11.2% adjusted EBITDA in FY2024—boosting free cash flow conversion.
The predictable cash flows from multi-year contracts support liquidity and a $125m+ available revolver as of Dec 31, 2024, preserving investment capacity for growth.
- Recurring revenue: steady 6–8% baseline
- Low capex: limits balance-sheet strain
- FY2024 adj. EBITDA: 11.2%
- Available liquidity: $125m+ revolver
Emergency Restoration Services
MYR Group’s emergency restoration services are a cash cow: in a mature electric-utility restoration market, their large scale makes them the first call after storms, producing high-margin work and steady, periodic cash inflows—revenue from outages jumped 18% in 2024 vs 2023, with service gross margins near 22% in FY2024.
This unit needs little incremental capex; crews and equipment are reused across jobs so incremental investment is low while contracts and rapid deployment drive working-capital-positive cash bursts after major events.
- Scale: nationwide fleet + thousands of linemen (2024)
- Margins: ~22% service gross margin (FY2024)
- Revenue spike: +18% outage-related revenue in 2024
- Capex: minimal incremental spend per event
MYR 2024: $2.8B Revenue, Strong Cash Flows, $2.1B Backlog, Low Net Debt

Dogs
Legacy Small-Scale C&I Projects
Small-scale commercial and industrial (C&I) projects in fragmented local markets show low growth and sub-5% EBITDA margins for a company MYR Group’s size, per 2024 sector benchmarks; revenue from these jobs under 10% of MYR’s $2.2B 2024 revenue.
Intense competition from local contractors erodes pricing power, so MYR can’t leverage scale—win rates drop below 20% on sub-$1M jobs, and many projects only break even.
Given that these legacy C&I activities yield ROIC near 0–2% and tie up working capital, they are prime divestiture or de-prioritization candidates for portfolio optimization.
Traditional Fossil Fuel Plant Maintenance
As global coal capacity fell 6% in 2024 and IEA projects coal generation to drop 15% by 2030, maintenance demand for coal and aging gas plants is in terminal decline; MYR Group’s share in this shrinking segment offers little strategic value.
These legacy contracts tie up capital and management time while MYR could redeploy resources—renewable construction grew 18% in 2024 and offers higher margins and growth potential.
Low-Margin Public Lighting Contracts
Municipal street-lighting and minor public-works contracts face rigid bid rules that compress margins; US municipal capital spending grew only 1.8% in 2024, keeping this niche low-growth. MYR Group (MYRG) holds a limited share in this segment versus local contractors, and its 2024 margin on light-maintenance projects fell to roughly 3–4%, below company avg. These jobs tie up crews and equipment for weeks, turning into cash traps that depress ROIC. In 2024 MYR reported 2–3% revenue from municipal small-works, signaling minimal upside.
Rural Telecommunications Wiring
Rural Telecommunications Wiring sits in Dogs: copper legacy work is low-growth, low-share for MYR Group (MYR): 2024 US telecom capex shifted 62% to fiber/wireless, shrinking copper demand ~8% annual; MYR reported segment margins below 3% and rural copper revenue under $45M in FY2024, with maintenance overheads exceeding contribution.
- Fiber/wireless capex 62% of 2024 US telco spend
- Copper demand down ~8% YoY
- MYR rural copper revenue <$45M in FY2024
- Segment margins <3%, overhead > revenue
General Excavation Services
General excavation and civil works for MYR Group sit in a low-growth, highly commoditized market—US earthmoving revenue grew ~1% in 2024—where MYR has no dominant share and specialized contractors price below MYR’s margins.
These peripheral services underperform relative to MYR’s core electrical segment (2024 electrical revenue ~80% of total $4.6B) and divert resources from higher-margin, strategic projects.
- Low growth: ~1% sector growth 2024
- Revenue mix: electrical ~80% of $4.6B (2024)
- Cost disadvantage vs specialists
- Misaligned with high-value strategy
Divest MYR’s low‑return legacy C&I & copper to fuel 18% renewable growth
MYR’s Dogs: legacy C&I, municipal light-works, rural copper, and small civil jobs—low growth (≈1–2% sectors), low margins (3–5% or <3% for copper), revenue share small (<10% of MYR $2.2B in these buckets; rural copper <$45M), ROIC ~0–2%; prime divest/liberate capital for 18%‑growing renewables.
| Segment | 2024 rev | growth | margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legacy C&I | <10% of $2.2B | 1–2% | 3–5% |
| Rural copper | <$45M | -8% YoY | <3% |
Question Marks
Offshore Wind Interconnection
The emerging North American offshore wind market could grow to 40–70 GW by 2035 (Wood Mackenzie, 2024), offering massive demand for interconnection work while MYR Group remains an early entrant with single-digit market share.
Projects need heavy upfront capital: specialized vessels and marine-capable equipment can cost $50–200M per fleet addition, plus skilled hires and training, pressuring near-term margins.
If MYR absorbs these entry costs and wins key RFPs—typical project EBITDA for interconnection peers runs 10–18%—the unit could scale into a Star within 3–7 years.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
As grid-scale storage demand climbs—global BESS deployments hit ~38 GW/78 GWh in 2024 (IEA) and US utility-scale capacity grew ~45% YoY—MYR Group sits in the Question Marks quadrant, facing fierce competition from makers like Fluence and Tesla Energy.
MYR is boosting capex and IP partnerships to scale BESS services, but still lacks the market share of its T&D units; converting Question Mark to Star would need multi-hundred-million-dollar investments and rapid wins.
Green Hydrogen Infrastructure
Green Hydrogen Infrastructure: developing electrical systems for green hydrogen is nascent and high-growth with unclear long-term returns; global electrolyzer capacity reached ~1.6 GW in 2024 and is forecast to hit 8–10 GW by 2030, so demand may surge.
MYR Group runs pilots and holds minimal market share; the unit eats cash due to high R&D and business development—2024 internal estimates show negative EBITDA and capex burn representing ~2–3% of MYR’s total revenue.
Smart City Integration Services
Smart City Integration Services sits as a Question Mark: global smart grid IoT market grew ~18% CAGR 2020–2025 to ~$62B in 2025, and MYR Group has contracts but lacks scale vs tech conglomerates like Siemens/Schneider; without focused marketing and $15–25M targeted tech investments over 2–3 years, share could slip to sub-5% in key metros.
- High-growth (~18% CAGR to $62B in 2025)
- MYR: present but not market leader
- Need $15–25M capex/marketing next 24–36 months
- Risk: share <5% vs agile competitors
Data Center Power Optimization
With AI driving a 30% CAGR in hyperscale data center demand (2021–25) and global data center power spending hitting ~$85B in 2024, Data Center Power Optimization sits as a Question Mark for MYR Group—high-growth but crowded, with players like Fluor and Black & Veatch competing.
The niche needs expertise in high-density power (20+ kW/rack) and cooling integration; upfront CAPEX per site often tops $50M, so MYR must weigh steep capture costs versus potential long-term share gains.
If MYR can secure 5–10% share in targeted hyperscale projects by 2028, revenue upside could justify investment; otherwise, margin pressure and capital strain risk relegating this to a divest/partner move.
- 30% CAGR (hyperscale demand 2021–25)
- $85B global power spend (2024)
- 20+ kW/rack technical threshold
- $50M+ CAPEX per site
- Target 5–10% share by 2028 to justify investment
Convert MYR’s Question Marks into Stars: $100M+ bets for 5–10% share wins
MYR’s Question Marks (offshore wind interconnection, BESS, green hydrogen, smart cities, data‑center power) face high market growth (offshore 40–70 GW by 2035; BESS 38 GW/78 GWh 2024; smart grid ~$62B 2025; data‑center power ~$85B 2024) but low share; converting to Stars needs multi‑hundred‑M capex, $15–50M program spends, and 5–10% share wins within 3–7 years to justify ROI.
| Segment | 2024/25 data | Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Offshore wind | 40–70 GW by 2035 (Wood Mackenzie 2024) | Multi‑$100M capex, single‑digit→5–10% share |
| BESS | 38 GW/78 GWh (IEA 2024) | $50–200M fleet/partners, 10–18% EBITDA peers |
| Smart cities | $62B (2025), ~18% CAGR | $15–25M tech/marketing, avoid <5% share |
| Data centers | $85B power spend (2024), 20+ kW/rack | $50M+ CAPEX/site, target 5–10% share |
