Can this ASX industrials stock keep going?

Founded in 2017, GenusPlus designs, builds, and maintains Australia's power and communications infrastructure. 

Its services range from overhead and underground powerline construction to renewable energy projects, substations, and high-voltage testing.

There are plenty of positive signs for continued growth for this ASX industrials stock. 

It has posted consistent contract wins and strong execution across power and telecom infrastructure.

About 90% of its FY25–FY27 revenue is already under contract. 

The Motley Fool's Leigh Grant reported earlier this year that the company is set to continue benefiting from the AI boom.

It builds and maintains the essential poles, wires, and substations that power Australia's electricity grid under long-term contracts. 

As AI drives energy demand and Australia transitions to renewables, GenusPlus stands to benefit from steady, inflation-linked revenues and long-term growth opportunities.

Bell Potter tips upside

Christopher Watt, Bell Potter Securities (via The Bull) said this ASX industrials stock's growing presence gives it strong medium-term upside. 

The broker highlighted the company's strong revenue of $751.3 million in full year 2025, which was up 36% on the prior corresponding period and beat expectations. 

Additionally, EBITDA of $67.4 million surged 49%.

Watt said the company appeals, driven by its strong revenue growth, strategic positioning in renewable infrastructure, and significant order pipeline.

The company offers visible earnings given an order book of $2 billion, a tender pipeline of $2.4 billion and a net cash position $113 million at June 30, 2025. GNP's growing presence in energy transition projects underpins a strong medium term outlook.
