AtkinsRéalis Group Inc.ATRL.TOPAST TOP PICKNov 27, 2015Stock price when the opinion was issued
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)
(A Top Pick Nov 3/14. Down 9.3%.) This is not the same company that it has been penalized for in the past. Has new management and is very unlikely to do what it did in the past. There are still lots of headline risks based on things coming up from the past. With infrastructure becoming a major platform for the new government, they are and will continue to be one of the major beneficiaries.
