Unspecified

It is showing promise by getting rid of the legacy contracts with fixed prices and concentrating on the engineering side of the business. This will make it better for the long term.

DON'T BUY

Margins not as robust as some peers. Stock's done fairly well in last 2 years. He prefers other names in the group, though they all look expensive right now. He'd look at WSP or STN. Owns ARE, but that's a different kind of story.

DON'T BUY

Has owned in the past, but not currently.
Currently over bought given share price.
Wait for shares to fall before buying.
Fundamentally does not score well.
Revenue and earnings growth not high enough.
Debt levels too high.
Q4 loss a negative sign.

DON'T BUY

Lots of volatility and business controversial.
Scandalous business.
Not a good investment for average investor.
Hard to value business.

DON'T BUY

Plagued by fixed-price contracts. Big cost overruns. Not booking these types of contracts going forward, but they have to work through them. She owns WSP instead.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 07/21, Down 25%) He sold and moved on. Things were different a year ago. Its turnaround has been stalled. Events are weighing on profits.

DON'T BUY

Trying to turn things around, but late to the party. Lunch has been eaten by WSP and STN. He recently added WSP, the gold standard in engineering consulting, a global leader.

DON'T BUY

Large projects might be harder to finance with interest rates shooting up. The group's in a good position to do well over the next number of years. Has come back from its troubled days. Likes exposure to the area, but this one is more expensive than peers.

HOLD

US won't try to rock the boat with its most important trading partners, Canada and Mexico. Well positioned to benefit from US growth. Build Back Better will take a Herculean effort from many countries to get anything done, and this is bullish for Canadian and US names. He'd still prefer to own the concessions than build the concessions, as that's how you get more long-term value.

WAIT

A low multiple stock compared to its peers. They are going through a restructuring that is proving more challenging than expected. She thinks it will take another 4-6 quarters to really get things going. Beyond that you need a good track record on execution.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

New management team. Risk of skeletons in the closet has diminished, and they can focus on capitalizing on growth. Good footprint in Canada and US, with good exposure to infrastructure spend. Valuation not as attractive. Would accumulate on material pullback.

BUY

A number of good quarters could alleviate their up and down moves. If infrastructure investment increases, it could help them. They continue to have big hits of earnings from turnkey operations. Uranium business is doing well. Some volatility should be expected.

BUY

Given negative headlines He recently bought this infrastructure stock. This was a pariah from 2011-18 under old management implication in bribery scandals abroad. They cleared those issues, but a residue of old alleged corruption surfaced two weeks ago. He takes comfort that those employees are no longer there and that the allegation happened over 20 years ago. He still sees this as a good opportunity and entry point now.

BUY

Legacy issues are likely cleaned up. Stock's acting well technically. Likes the stair-step, rally-consolidate characteristic. Earnings growth likely to be quite strong. Engineering sector will benefit from infrastructure projects. He doesn't own it, but could.
