About NV5 Global, Inc.

NV5 Global, Inc. (ticker: NVEE) is a US-listed professional services company traded on the NASDAQ market in the United States. Headquartered in Hollywood, Florida, United States, NV5 has built a business centered on technology-enabled consulting, certification, and engineering solutions. For French, Belgian, and Swiss investors, the company stands out as a diversified infrastructure- and regulation-linked services platform with exposure to public-sector spending, utilities, private developers, and long-duration capital programs. NV5’s growth model has been shaped by both organic expansion and a steady acquisition strategy, allowing it to broaden capabilities and geographic reach over time. The company describes its operations across six core verticals: utility services, infrastructure engineering, conformity assessment, buildings & technology, environmental health sciences, and geospatial services. In practical terms, this means NV5 delivers a broad mix of engineering design, surveying, GIS and data services, technical compliance, environmental consulting, building-related engineering, and commissioning/inspection work. The portfolio is service-heavy, expertise-driven, and generally less capital intensive than manufacturing or construction contracting, which can support scalability and recurring revenue opportunities. From a competitive standpoint, NV5 occupies a specialized niche between large diversified engineering consultancies and smaller local firms. Its value proposition lies in combining technical depth, a broad client base, and cross-selling opportunities across engineering, geospatial analytics, and conformity services. Management has increasingly emphasized higher-margin, more scalable offerings, especially in data centers, fire protection engineering, water infrastructure, and other recurring technical services. Recent transactions underline that strategy: in 2024 NV5 agreed to acquire GIS Solutions to strengthen GIS application development and cloud services for transportation agencies; it also agreed to buy California Water Resources Group to reinforce water and wastewater capabilities; and it entered agreements or completed acquisitions aimed at expanding fire safety engineering and hyperscale data center commissioning. In January 2025, NV5 also announced a long-term revenue target of $1.6 billion by 2028, signaling continued ambition and acquisition-led expansion. Geographically, NV5 is primarily North American, with a strong US footprint and selected international project exposure through certain acquired businesses. Its client mix spans public agencies, utilities, real estate-related customers, and private industry. For equity investors, NV5 is best viewed as a services platform tied to infrastructure modernization, environmental compliance, digital geospatial workflows, and technical building systems, where execution quality, integration discipline, and margin expansion are key watchpoints.
