What Emcor does

Provider of electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services for commercial, industrial and data-center customers.

Wins projects by competitive bid, usually at fixed prices, and books revenue as work progresses, so profit depends on estimating labor and materials well; signed backlog gives visibility. Service contracts on existing buildings add a steadier line. In recent years data-center construction has grown into a leading source of its work.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
