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)
David BurrowsIt is an uptrend but he recently sold two weeks ago because it was overbought and there may be a pullback. It is fine for the longer term investor.
Keith RichardsThey changed their name, improved productivity and cash flow. They trade at a discount to the group. They have a major nuclear plant projects and many engineering projects in China. People are considering nuclear positively again that will benefit ATRL.
(Analysts’ price target is $68.25)
John ZechnerHe bought it in the 20's. IT is still trading at a reasonable price/growth so it is a good opportunity to buy.
Greg Newman
A lot of action's already happened on this stock. He bought on the breakout, and now there's consolidation. Chart's looking positive, likes the formation, though you may have to live through a bit more consolidation. Yield is 0.1%.
(Analysts’ price target is $66.92)Keith RichardsStrong performer over the year. Execution should continue. Got rid of legacy contracts. Strong in civil engineering and nuclear. Could see large growth from nuclear especially, if projects continue to be built.
Jamie Murray Strength in stock price lately. Highly ranked in technical analysis. Owns shares in company, and would recommend buying. Sector out performing with increase in infrastructure spending.
Colin CieszynskiHe's done 2 legs so far. That's how you should approach a stock, not all in all at once. In an uptrend, resistance coming up. Generally, you don't argue with an uptrend.
Keith RichardsCurrently in "up trend". Consolidating higher. Large swings good for investors. Will continue to own, and buy more.

This company has had 3 bad things happen to it in the last few years. 1) There has been the bribery corruption scandal in North Africa. 2.) Inability to make money on a lot of their construction contracts. They came into the post recession period with a huge order backlog that they couldn’t converted into profits, which made him believe that they had underbid on the lot of their contracts. 3.) Now they are exposed to a lot of energy projects, which don’t look like they are going to get built, or if they do it is going to be very difficult for them to make their margins. New management is doing a pretty good job, but they have a lot of headwinds and he is not tempted to go into this.
