Significant warning signs highlight potential risks, such as a distress-level Altman Z-score of 1.53, indicating potential financial distress. Revenue per share and gross margin have been in long-term decline, raising concerns about the company's growth sustainability. Nevertheless, the firm has shown resilience, evidenced by a robust Beneish M-Score of -3.37, suggesting low chances of financial manipulation.
In terms of liquidity, Tutor Perini's current ratio of 1.55 and a cash-to-debt ratio of 0.42 indicate adequate financial management. However, profitability metrics remain challenging, with a negative return on equity (ROE) of -10.21% and a low EBITDA margin of 0.72%.
Looking ahead, the company's commitment to resolving legacy issues and enhancing its profitability through a substantial project backlog presents a potentially rewarding, albeit cautious, investment opportunity for stakeholders.
