Quanta Services combines routine governance items with a capital return update. All director nominees were elected and executive pay received strong support, indicating broad stockholder alignment with current leadership and compensation practices.
The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share, or $0.44 annually, and authorized a new stock repurchase program for up to $1 billion of common stock.
