DY Q2 fiscal 2027 results
In one sentence
Dycom reported revenue of $2.0 billion for Q2 fiscal 2027, up 46% from a year earlier (Dycom, Aug 26, 2026).
| Measure | Q2 fiscal 2027 | Q2 fiscal 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $2,006 million | $1,378 million | up 46% |
| Diluted EPS (GAAP) | $3.81 | $3.33 | up 14% |
| Diluted EPS (Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS) | $5.29 | $3.64 | up 45% |
| Net income | $116 million | $97.5 million | up 19% |
The quarter ended August 1, 2026 and Dycom published the results on August 26, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q2 fiscal 2026, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Dycom reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.
- Dycom's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in January. Q2 fiscal 2027 is the quarter ended August 1, 2026. Fiscal 2026 had 53 weeks, with the extra week in its fourth quarter.
- Building Systems did not exist a year ago. It holds Power Solutions, acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and National Technology Integrators, acquired in Q2 fiscal 2027, so all of its revenue counts as acquired.
- Since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, Dycom's adjusted net income excludes amortization of intangible assets. The year-ago adjusted EPS of $3.64 is restated on that basis.

DY revenue by segment
How Dycom splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q2 fiscal 2027 against Q2 fiscal 2026. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.
| Contract revenues by segment | Q2 fiscal 2027 | Q2 fiscal 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communications | $1,608 million | $1,378 million | up 17% |
| Building Systems | $398 million | - | n/a |
- Dycom's Communications revenue was $1.6 billion in Q2 fiscal 2027, up 17% from $1.4 billion in Q2 fiscal 2026, 80% of total revenue.
- Dycom's Building Systems revenue was $398 million in Q2 fiscal 2027, 20% of total revenue.
Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

Past Dycom quarterly reports
Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.
- Q2 fiscal 2027 (this page), reported Aug 26, 2026
What Dycom's revenue is made of
Dycom's Q2 fiscal 2027 contract revenues were $2,005.9 million, up 45.6% from $1,377.9 million. Organic growth was 16.7%. The rest came from businesses Dycom did not own a year earlier, which make up its Building Systems segment: Power Solutions, acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and National Technology Integrators, acquired in Q2 fiscal 2027. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026; Dycom Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2027, Aug 27, 2026)
Communications, Dycom's telecommunications infrastructure contracting business, had contract revenues of $1,608.4 million, 80.2% of the total and all of it organic. Dycom attributed the growth primarily to growth in fiber-to-the-home programs, increased long-haul and middle-mile fiber infrastructure builds, and growing maintenance and operations services. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026; Dycom Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2027, Aug 27, 2026)
Building Systems contributed $397.5 million, 19.8% of the total. It provides electrical, energy management, inside-plant structured cabling, and audio-visual, security and fire safety systems for data centers and other critical facilities. National Technology Integrators contributed approximately $22.9 million of revenue in the quarter; Dycom valued the purchase at $275.0 million at signing. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026; Dycom Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2027, Aug 27, 2026)
Dycom calls its customer base highly concentrated. AT&T accounted for $403.5 million, or 20.1% of contract revenues, against 27.1% a year earlier, Verizon for $209.4 million (10.4%) and Lumen for $105.3 million (5.3%). AT&T's total now includes the mass markets fiber business it bought from Lumen on February 2, 2026, and Verizon's includes Frontier, acquired on January 20, 2026. (Dycom Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2027, Aug 27, 2026)
What Dycom's EPS includes
Dycom's GAAP diluted EPS rose 14.4% to $3.81, while Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS rose 45.3% to $5.29. The only adjustment is amortization of intangible assets, $60.5 million in the quarter against $11.9 million a year earlier, which rose with the acquired businesses; net of tax it added $1.49 per share. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026; Dycom Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2027, Aug 27, 2026)
Interest expense, net rose to $38.0 million from $15.6 million on higher outstanding borrowings. The effective income tax rate was 24.9%, against 25.7%, and results include $3.6 million, or $0.12 per share, of income tax benefits from the vesting and exercise of share-based awards. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026; Dycom Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2027, Aug 27, 2026)
Diluted shares rose to 30,363,819 from 29,242,455. Dycom issued 95,550 shares as part of the National Technology Integrators purchase and repurchased 100,000 shares in the first half of fiscal 2027. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026; Dycom Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2027, Aug 27, 2026)
Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.
Consensus and guidance at Dycom
Dycom gives a quarterly and a full-year outlook in its release. For Q3 fiscal 2027, the quarter ending October 31, 2026, it expects contract revenues of $1.90 billion to $1.98 billion, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $281 million to $302 million and adjusted diluted EPS (excluding amortization expense) of $4.33 to $4.79. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026)
Dycom raised its fiscal 2027 contract revenue outlook to $7.48 billion to $7.66 billion: Communications $5.90 billion to $6.01 billion, after deferring approximately $150 million of wireless program revenues into fiscal 2028, and Building Systems $1.58 billion to $1.65 billion. It expects a slight decline in the Communications adjusted EBITDA margin for the year and a Building Systems margin in the high-teens to low-twenties for the rest of fiscal 2027. (Dycom Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Aug 26, 2026)
A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Dycom, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.
The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

How to check DY's figures yourself
Every number on this page can be traced to a document Dycom published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.
- The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
- The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
- The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
- Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.

FAQ
What was Dycom's revenue last quarter?
+
Dycom reported revenue of $2,006 million for Q2 fiscal 2027, the quarter ended August 1, 2026, against $1,378 million in Q2 fiscal 2026 (up 46%). The figures come from Dycom's results release of August 26, 2026.
What guidance did Dycom give for Q3 fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2027?
+
The first two lines are Dycom's outlook for the quarter ending October 31, 2026; the last two are for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. In its Q2 fiscal 2027 release, Dycom said: "Contract revenues $1.90 billion to $1.98 billion Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS (excluding amortization expense) $4.33 to $4.79 Contract revenues $7.48 billion to $7.66 billion In Communications, total contract revenues now reflects the deferral of approximately $150 million of wireless program revenues into fiscal 2028." That is the company's own outlook as of Aug 26, 2026, and companies revise outlooks as the quarter goes on.
When does DY report earnings next?
+
Dycom's next report is expected around November 25, 2026, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not confirmed. This page carries Q2 fiscal 2027 until those results are out and checked against the release.
Where does Dycom's revenue come from?
+
Dycom's Communications revenue was $1.6 billion in Q2 fiscal 2027, up 17% from $1.4 billion in Q2 fiscal 2026, 80% of total revenue. Dycom's Building Systems revenue was $398 million in Q2 fiscal 2027, 20% of total revenue. These are the lines of Dycom's own "contract revenues by segment" table for Q2 fiscal 2027.
How much did Dycom's revenue grow last quarter?
+
Up 46% on the year: $2,006 million in Q2 fiscal 2027 against $1,378 million in Q2 fiscal 2026. That is the year-over-year comparison, the same quarter a year apart, so seasonal patterns in Dycom's business do not distort it.
What is the difference between Dycom's GAAP and Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS EPS?
+
GAAP EPS follows US accounting rules and is the figure in the audited statements. Dycom's Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS EPS starts from it and removes items the company considers outside its operating results; the release lists each adjustment in a reconciliation table. For Q2 fiscal 2027 the two were $3.81 and $5.29. Analysts' EPS estimates are usually built on the adjusted figure, so check which one a headline compares before you repeat it.
Why is Dycom's quarter called Q2 fiscal 2027?
+
Dycom's fiscal year does not follow the calendar year, so Q2 fiscal 2027 is the quarter that ended August 1, 2026. When you compare DY with a company that reports on the calendar year, line quarters up by the date they ended, not by their names.
Where do the DY numbers on this page come from?
+
From Dycom's own results release and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 1, 2026, copied as printed, in millions of US dollars. Percent changes are worked out from those figures and rounded to a whole percent, which matches how the release states them. Nothing on this page is an estimate except the consensus, which is labelled with its source and date.
