ASX industrials stock SKS Technologies Group (ASX: SKS) has been in focus this year after racing ahead of the market.
Since the start of 2026, it has risen 110%.
SKS Technologies engages in the development and distribution of technology products. It provides audiovisual products & solutions and electrical and communications cabling for the commercial, retail, health, defense and education market.
In the last 12 months, it has exploded more than 400%.
After such a rapid rise, prospective investors are likely questioning if it's too late to jump on board this runaway train.
Last week, the company released key announcements regarding new contracts.

What did this ASX industrials stock announce?
SKS Technologies has received written confirmation from Buildcorp Group Pty Ltd for the award of a contract to supply and install a fully integrated electrical technology solution for a major retailing group for its new headquarters in Melbourne's Docklands precinct.
The project is valued at approximately $22 million.
SKS Technologies Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Jinks, said:
The awarding of this project reflects our reputation and position in the market for quality and capability, reinforcing our business as a trusted partner for complex, large-scale commercial developments. It also further strengthens market confidence in our team's ability to execute critical infrastructure with precision, safety and efficiency.
The project is due for completion in 1Q28.
This catapulted the share price to a new record high last week, and prompted updated guidance from the team at Morgans.
Here's what the broker had to say.
$1.2bn pipeline sparks further confidence
Morgans said SKS's $22m contract win for the new Coles head office sees the group work in hand expand to $355m ($270m for FY27), with SKS's Tenders pipeline exceeding $1.2bn (of which >$1bn relates to prospective data centre projects).
SKS's share price momentum increasingly reflects confidence in the group's strong FY27 outlook, and ability to win a greater share of its healthy pipeline of prospective data centres. We lift our PBT forecasts by ~12-15% in FY27-28F, reflecting our expectations for further conversion of SKS's share of this pipeline over the year ahead.
Based on this guidance, Morgans retained its accumulate rating, with a revised price target of $8.95.
While this optimism is reassuring for holders of the stock, those on the outside looking in have likely missed the majority of growth.
From yesterday's closing price of $8.32, this updated price target indicates a modest upside of 7% for this ASX industrials stock.
