One of the newest additions to the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) soared long before joining the index, but this could just be the beginning of a long bull run.
Emcor Group (NYSE: EME) joined the S&P 500 index in September. The stock has been an unstoppable multibagger, soaring 200% since the beginning of 2024 and more than quadrupling investors’ money in just three years.
Several analysts still have a buy rating on Emcor. One of them is Brent Thielman from DA Davidson. The analyst lifted Emcor stock’s price target from $725 to $800 per share right after Emcor’s third-quarter earnings release on Oct. 30.
Thielman’s new price target represents a potential 23% upside from Emcor stock’s price of around $650 per share, as of this writing. While DA Davidson’s stock price targets look 12-18 months out, Emcor’s growth story should extend well beyond that amid the data center boom that’s driving the company’s contract value and revenues to record highs.
