Argan’s record results and rising dividend

Argan (AGX) recently reported record revenue and net income for fiscal 2026, highlighted by a strong US$2.9b project backlog and a higher quarterly dividend for the third straight year, which has drawn fresh attention to the stock.

Recent trading reflects this shift in attention, with the share price up 2.51% over the last day but down 5.57% over the past month. The 90 day share price return of 43.12% and very large multi year total shareholder returns indicate momentum that has been building over time.
