Foolish take
2025 was a rollercoaster ride for Fluor. Shares hit 52-week highs of $57.50 per share on July 31 but plunged the very next day after the company reported sharply lower revenue and earnings. High costs because of some subcontractor errors and an unexpected arbitration ruling for a Mexican project completed in 2021 were to blame. Fluor's backlog also fell 13% year over year to $28 billion, reflecting a slowdown in key end markets.

Key Data Points
Investors, however, saw an opportunity in Fluor's stock price drop for several reasons, particularly its move to monetize its stake in nuclear energy start-up NuScale Power (SMR +1.96%). Fluor owned a majority stake in NuScale Power, a developer of small modular reactors. With shares of NuScale soaring nearly 200% in the year through the end of July, Fluor saw an incredible opportunity to cash in. That's also perhaps one of the reasons why DME Capital loaded up on Fluor stock in Q3.
Through early October, Fluor received $605 million in net proceeds from the sale of its NuScale Power stake. It expects to sell its entire remaining stake in the second quarter of 2026. In Q3, Fluor also won new awards worth $3.3 billion. Fluor stock may appear to be a value buy now, but investors should consider the cyclical nature of its business before making a decision.
