Stock price when the opinion was issued
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)
WSP Global is pretty much the gold standard. They are pretty much 100% consulting, whereas STN-T and SNC-T are not. He has shied away from the whole sector. The problem is the engineering and construction business, which he has never liked. Margins are razor thin. STN-T wants to get away from E&C. He would buy WSP-T on a correction. STN-T might be a buy at some other point. SNC-T he stays way from and has done so for many years.
