Geography
Q1/2026Quanta operates primarily in the United States, with additional activity in Canada, Australia, and select other international markets.

Risks
Quanta’s results depend on project timing, customer capital spending, and the ability to execute complex contracts without cost overruns or delays. Its labor-intensive model also exposes it to safety incidents, operational hazards, cybersecurity issues, and integration risk from acquisitions, while foreign operations add currency and regional exposure.
