How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2025 Q2
what has sort of changed -- or what could change going forward that has made modular, respectively, a bigger part of the business?
Show response
CFO framed modular as a construction modality, not a separate product line. Will grow as a delivery method but won't displace traditional stick-built in his lifetime.
do you see your suppliers trying to pass on costs that really aren't there? And they're probably not getting that by you as a larger contractor
Show response
CFO candidly acknowledged some suppliers are using tariff narrative to justify increases while others absorb costs. Overall impact not detectable in results.

Calendar 2025 Q2
Do you expect that to converge? And then maybe you could remind us for everybody on the call, how that sort of flows from the beginning to an end of a project
Show response
Guzzi noted electrical is more heavily weighted to data centers while mechanical has more diverse project mix. Both serve similar end markets but growth rates will differ quarterly.
