On a separate note, Fluor Corporation reported strong second-quarter results for 2026, exceeding market expectations.

This success is credited to effective management across the company's project portfolio.

Moreover, the recent glacier-collapse flood in Nepal is anticipated to result in reconstruction costs of approximately $5 billion, as reported by Bloomberg. Engineering and construction firms like Fluor and AECOM are poised to benefit from this recovery spending. Research indicates these firms are actively engaged in post-disaster reconstruction efforts across the Asia-Pacific region.

Fluor's current backlog of roughly $27 billion suggests significant growth potential if captured through Nepal reconstruction projects, although this will depend on procurement timelines ranging from six to twelve months.
