Polen Capital Management, LLC on Quanta Services, Inc.
Thesis
Polen bought Quanta Services as a leading North American specialty contractor enabling modernization of the electricity grid. The company serves utilities, renewable developers, hyperscalers and industrial customers on essential infrastructure projects. Rising electricity consumption and the buildout of AI-related infrastructure should support multi-year work. Polen believes Quanta has the specialized capabilities and competitive position needed to capture that demand.
“We view the company as a picks-and-shovels beneficiary of grid modernization, rising electricity demand, and the broader infrastructure buildout.”
