NEW YORK – ABM Industries (NYSE:ABM) saw its shares jump nearly 7% Friday after the facility solutions provider reported third quarter earnings that topped analyst estimates and raised its full-year outlook.

ABM posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.94 for the fiscal third quarter, exceeding the consensus forecast of $0.86. Revenue grew 3.3% YoY to $2.1 billion, also beating expectations of $2.04 billion.

The company’s top-line growth was led by its Technical Solutions segment, which saw revenues surge 25% YoY, driven by significant growth in its microgrid service line. The Aviation segment also performed strongly with 13% YoY revenue growth.

Looking ahead, ABM raised its fiscal 2024 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $3.48 to $3.55, up from its previous outlook of $3.40 to $3.50.
