As of Jun 09, 2026. Market Open.
Doesn't agree that AI is going to ruin construction businesses. The design portion of projects may be streamlined through AI, such as accelerating gathering data, but the fundamental narrative doesn't change. The Build Canada projects must be good for construction companies.
Not a sector he'd play, but it's OK at these levels.
Tremendous run, and now some engineering firms are under pressure. A laggard. You want to own things people really care about, and he's been very selective and carving out underperformers.
Midterm election years tend to have weakness in June, July, August. We'll see. Market breadth is not ideal right now. Look for better opportunities.
Very strong portfolio of engineering and design and consulting. Plays into infrastructure, energy, and environment. Focus on nuclear will be important, with 15% of revenue coming from there. If Hwy 407 were sold at a good price, would be a catalyst to create value (but he wouldn't buy something just because there might be a deal down the road). Yield is 0.1%.
(Analysts’ price target is $70.31)
Sold her holdings when they were having problems and wanted to wait for the dust to clear. As it turned out, some of their senior executives have been dismissed and/or charged with inappropriate activity. Have new management in place now. Recently made an acquisition to expand their end markets. She is still not ready to buy. Feels energy prices are going to impact some of their markets. Prefers Fluor (FLR-N) which is more global.
