Goldman Sachs Rates Primoris Services (PRIM) hold

Goldman Sachs Upgrades Primoris Services

On June 25, 2026, Goldman Sachs analyst Adam Bubes upgraded Primoris Services Corporation (NYSE: PRIM) to a hold rating. The firm set a price target of $102 for the infrastructure services provider. This adjustment from Goldman Sachs suggests a more neutral posture on the stock, aligning closer to several peer firms that have also taken a wait-and-see approach in recent months.

How the Call Compares with Wall Street

Goldman's move to a hold rating places it in a more conservative camp compared to the broader Wall Street consensus, which leans toward a buy. Looking at other analyst moves, Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated a Neutral rating on September 29, 2026, maintaining a $105.0 target. Earlier in the month on September 9, 2026, Piper Sandler initiated coverage on the company with a Neutral rating and a $90.0 price target.

In contrast, several firms maintain highly optimistic views. On August 10, 2026, UBS kept its Buy rating on the stock, though it lowered its price target from $186.0 to $138.0. On August 6, 2026, Guggenheim maintained its Buy rating with a $127.0 target, down from $162.0. Needham also maintained a Buy rating on July 13, 2026, with a price target of $172.0, while Roth Capital reiterated its Buy rating on July 20, 2026, with a $100.0 price target. Overall, fifteen analyst opinions contribute to a consensus buy recommendation key, with an average target price of $117.8.

Dividend

The company helps build and maintain gas, electric, and communication systems, while also serving renewable energy, petroleum, and transportation sectors.

What's Ahead for Primoris Services Corporation

Investors will want to monitor how Primoris Services performs in its upcoming quarterly report on November 2, 2026. The wide gap between the lowest analyst target of $85.0 and the highest target of $165.0 suggests that Wall Street remains divided on the company's growth trajectory. Future regulatory filings and analyst updates will help clarify whether the company can meet the consensus target price of $117.8.
