  • On the 10 worst bond days −2.15% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +0.24% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — IES Holdings Inc

IESC in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
IES Holdings designs and installs electrical and technology systems across four segments: Communications, which wires data centres, offices and hospitals for network and audio-visual use; Residential, covering electrical, HVAC, plumbing and solar installs in housing; Infrastructure Solutions, repairing motors, generators and power-distribution gear; and Commercial & Industrial, handling electrical and mechanical work for factories, wind and solar sites and municipal buildings. It is based in Sugar Land, Texas, and trades on a US exchange.
Where it sits in the stack
IES Holdings sits outside our Rubin index; it belongs to the Industrials sector under Engineering & Construction, where its Communications segment supplies the wiring and cooling infrastructure that data centres need, making it a contractor to the build-out rather than a maker of chips or systems.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group has not been set for this name; the comparison the market often draws is with EMCOR Group, another electrical and mechanical contractor serving similar commercial and industrial clients.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
IES Holdings holds no seat in our Rubin or Halo indices and carries no quotes in the diary yet. It does carry an early Closelooknet score, but only one module has been scored so far, so the read is still being built.
What the diary watches
Whether the Communications segment's data-centre work grows as a share of revenue, since that would tie more of the business to the build-out rather than housing and general construction demand.

IES Holdings Inc (IESC) trades on US exchanges, classified under Industrials.
