Legence (LGN) stock drops nearly 9% today as contractors slide ahead of U.S. payrolls
Legence shares dropped 9% to $43.99 Thursday, reversing early gains and falling below last month’s secondary offering price. The move followed the company’s $325 million acquisition of The Bowers Group, funded partly by a new $200 million term loan. Other contractor stocks also declined. Traders watched for Friday’s U.S. payrolls report and further filings from Legence.
