What Happened?

Shares of general contracting company Tutor Perini (NYSE: TPC) jumped 2.9% in the afternoon session after the company announced two significant contract awards through its subsidiary, Rudolph and Sletten, bolstering its project backlog. 

The first contract, valued at approximately $155 million, was for the construction of the Diego Rivera Performing Arts Center at the City College of San Francisco. The second award was a $108 million contract from UC Davis Health to expand the Central Utility Plant at its Sacramento campus. 

These wins reinforced the company's strong track record in securing high-value projects and added to its already growing backlog, which reached a new high of $21.6 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The new projects supported the company's long-term revenue visibility.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $69.49, up 2.9% from previous close.
