About Quanta Services

Quanta Services (PWR) is a public Industrial company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Houston, TX.

Last close: $676.56 per share (as of 2026-10-03).

Equity grants at Quanta Services typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).

Quanta Services is a U.S. corporation that provides infrastructure services for the electric power, pipeline, industrial and communications industries. The company has grown organically since its founding, but it has also acquired over 200 companies in the electrical contracting and other construction industries. In the 2020s, it has been involved in the construction of data centers as a consequence of the rise of artificial intelligence and its need for electrical power.

The company provides the skilled crews that build and maintain electric transmission lines, substations, and pipelines, work that requires linemen who take years to train and cannot be hired quickly. Labor scarcity is the competitive position: utilities contract with firms that can actually staff a project. Grid hardening, renewable interconnection, and rising electricity demand have extended the work backlog. Revenue is project-based and weather-affected quarter to quarter. Headquarters are in Houston.

Equity comp at Quanta Services

  • Quanta Services changed its change-in-control vesting rule in August 2023. For equity awards (RSUs, restricted stock, and performance units) granted after that date, unvested awards no longer vest automatically just because the company is acquired (a change in control). Instead, vesting only accelerates if the equity holder is also terminated without cause within 24 months after the change in control, and only when the deal consideration isn't 100% cash. Awards granted before August 2023 generally still vest on the change-in-control event alone (single-trigger). Standard RSU vesting outside of a change in control is three equal annual installments.
  • Early exercise is not allowed: you have to wait for shares to vest before you can buy them.
  • RSUs use double-trigger vesting. Two things must both happen before the shares are yours: (1) the normal time-based vesting completes, and (2) the company has a liquidity event (an IPO or an acquisition). Until both happen, you do not yet own the shares and you do not owe tax on them.

A protective put caps your downside on the PWR position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current PWR option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Example: a 5,000-share PWR position at $676.56 is worth $3,382,800. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $67,656 to $135,312) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off PWR's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Quanta Services equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge PWR stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and PWR's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current PWR option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Quanta Services grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Quanta Services typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Does Quanta Services allow early exercise of stock options?
No. Quanta Services requires options to vest before you can exercise them, so the holding-period clock for long-term capital-gains treatment starts as each tranche vests and you exercise it.
Do Quanta Services RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
Yes. Quanta Services restricted stock units (RSUs) vest only when two things both happen: the time-based schedule completes, and the company has a liquidity event such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition. Until both occur you do not own the shares and owe no tax on them.
