JGC Holdings (ISIN JP3667600005) gained a role in LNG Canada Phase 2 on October 2, 2026, as its joint venture with Fluor received the go-ahead for a USD 15.00 billion engineering, procurement and construction contract. JGC Holdings stock stood 23.43 percent below its JPY 2,927.50 52-week high on October 6, 2026.

LNG Canada expands the backlog

According to Engineering News-Record on October 2, 2026, Fluor and JGC will split the USD 15.00 billion EPC contract evenly. The project will add two liquefaction trains, storage capacity and related infrastructure, doubling LNG Canada's output capacity to 28.00 million tons per year.

Simply Wall St wrote on October 1, 2026 that the award increases order visibility but also concentrates execution risk in a large, complex contract. That balance matters because EPC earnings can weaken when cost overruns or project delays offset new work.

Profit rose while revenue declined

JGC's first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue was JPY 159.299 billion, down 16.10 percent from the comparable period, while operating profit reached JPY 12.355 billion, up 56.40 percent. Net income was JPY 11.617 billion, up 107.40 percent, according to note.com on September 28, 2026.

The operating result therefore improved despite lower sales, but the comparison includes a change in the accounting period for JGC Indonesia. The same report said the first-quarter order intake represented 7.00 percent of the full-year JPY 1.74 trillion target, leaving execution and order conversion as central measures for the remainder of fiscal 2027.
