Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Dycom Industries stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Dycom reported third-quarter fiscal 2017 adjusted earnings of $1.30 a share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.3% and surged 20.4% year over year. Robust operating performance and a stellar top-line improvement proved conducive to earnings growth. Going forward, favorable industry trends like surging demand for 1-Gigabyte deployment, huge investment in wireline networks and cable capacity projects boost growth. In the past one year, Dycom’s shares have witnessed a gain against a decline recorded by the Zacks categorized Building & Heavy Construction industry. However, on the flip side, a drab guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter, short-term margin pressure due to nature of work and reduced contributions from the acquired business signals tough times ahead. Also, timing uncertainty and spending fluctuations in relation to the large scale network deployments are likely to hurt the company's profitability. " (5/26/2017)
• 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "On March 1, DY announced F2Q17 results that provided an upside surprise, relative to our and consensus' estimates: Revenue grew 25% YOY (23% organic); EBITDA margins continued to expand to 12.3% (+40 bps YOY). The quarter was positively affected by strong 1 Gbps fiber deployments and market share gains. The telecom wireline industry remains robust, with 1 Gbps deployments and the development of 5G technologies. We continue to believe that DY is the best-positioned contractor to benefit from these telecom trends, given its scale, market position, customer relationships, and financial strength. We raise our estimates for CY17 and introduce CY18 estimates. We also raise our price target to $120 (from $115) and reiterate our Outperform rating." (3/2/2017)
