Orion Group Holdings, Inc. (ORN) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

ORN stock dips after Q2 earnings miss estimates as Marine project delays cut volumes, margins and guidance despite strong Concrete growth.

Although the revenue and EPS for Orion Marine (ORN) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended June 2026, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.

ORN's Q2 results are likely to benefit from backlog growth, data center demand and marine projects, while project timing may pressure results.
