Sterling reported Q2 2026 results on August 3, 2026. Earnings per share were $5.80, ahead of the $5.01 estimate by 15.68%. Revenue of $1.2 billion came in well above the $969.2 million consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS more than doubled from $2.69 and revenue roughly doubled from $614.5 million. Both are the highest figures in the table.

The longer record shows fast growth. Annual EPS rose from $3.13 in 2022 to $4.47 in 2023, $6.10 in 2024 and $10.88 in 2025, about 3.5 times the 2022 figure. The first half of 2026 adds up to $9.39, against $4.32 in the same period of 2025. Quarterly revenue went from $755.6 million in Q4 2025 to $825.7 million in Q1 2026 and $1.2 billion in Q2. Sterling beat the EPS estimate in 19 of the last 20 quarters, including the last 14 in a row. The only miss was Q4 2022, at 2.47% below.

Third-quarter results came between November 1 and November 6 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the Q3 report. It will show how EPS compares with Q3 2025's $3.48 and whether revenue stays near the Q2 level.
