Miller Value Deep Value Select Strategy stated the following regarding Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE:TPC) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:
"Our second largest positive contributors was Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE:TPC), whose shares were up 83%. We initially purchased TPC in the Fall of 2022, near $7/share, a deep discount to tangible book value. The Covid outbreak caused a significant delay in larger civil contracts, weighing on the company’s most profitable segment margins, causing a multi year earnings trough. Over the past two years, management has successfully rebuilt the company pipeline, enhanced the balance sheet through significant debt reduction and is on track to return the company to normalized profitability. With a portfolio holding return over 400%, TPC is currently trading over two times book value and approaching 10x normalized earnings. We recently exited the position and have recycled capital adding to holdings that have recently underperformed the portfolio and have greater long-term embedded return potential."
