### Session Tape - $FIX+WL: +2.54% ($1,728.01)
## Catalyst Analysis: Infrastructure Expansion and Backlog Momentum The mechanical and electrical contractor continues to capture significant market share amid the broader artificial intelligence infrastructure boom. Equity performance reflects a 77% gain over the trailing one-year period and an 871% expansion across the last three years. Analysts project revenue of just under $13 billion for 2026, while the company's backlog stands at $14.06 billion, exceeding anticipated annual revenue as hyperscalers maintain high capital expenditure levels for data facilities.

Options (education only)
No strikes or expiries — a framework for how traders might express the view. Options can expire worthless.
Options can be very risky and confusing when a stock is trading at very high per-share dollar amounts. Beginners should skip options entirely here.
