This summary was created by AI, based on 10 opinions in the last 12 months.

AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. has gathered mixed reviews from experts regarding its performance and prospects. While some express caution about the high valuation tied to its nuclear sector involvement, others emphasize its potential for growth, particularly as it may benefit from AI integration in construction projects. Notably, there are concerns about AI replacing jobs in engineering, but many experts believe that AI will complement human efforts rather than replace them entirely. Comparatively, ATRL is frequently discussed alongside competitors like Stantec and WSP, with a general sentiment that, despite recent downturns, the company is well-positioned to rebound with sustained earnings momentum. Additionally, ATRL is seen as a safer option due to its nuclear exposure, which might drive significant business in the future.

DON'T BUY

It has turned the corner or bounced to some extent. There is still some cleaning up to do. He would wait for a couple of good quarters.

BUY

He bought in the last 3-4 months as they settled some of the legal issues they had. Management has been doing a good job of cleaning house. 12 months from now they will be out of the higher risk contract construction projects. It is really under priced. There will be volatility over the next 4 quarters.

DON'T BUY

They had a nice bounce recently as their legal issues have lifted. Going forward, it'll be based on their fundamentals and new businesses they acquire. She doesn't know any construction stocks now. She wants to see their outlook and plan for future contracts before considering this.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't qualify as a quality stock for him. True, it's recovered strongly lately after it was punished last year. It's hard to predict their earnings, so he's not comfortable owning this for a long term.

BUY

They have been rebounding from the disaster of their fiascos. With the asset base and the write-down's, people believe it can get into the $35 range. He thinks it will rebound as political news is behind it.

DON'T BUY

He owns no engineering firms. SNC shares have bounced back upon news of a settlement. It has normalized back to $30. It likely won't rise much from here--it has settled. SNC has always traded at a high multiple for a cyclical business. He prefers Aecon, though is trading high as well. The space has run up recently, and these companies will benefit from Canadian infrastructure spending. But the optimism is already priced in.

COMMENT

Guilty on federal charges Corruption acquisitions were dropped following a guilty decision on fraud. The stock is up almost 25% at the moment.

DON'T BUY

Avoid. Too much negativity attached to this stock with the threat of criminal charges prevents them from bidding on new contracts. It takes time to get bad contracts out of their system and off their books. They need a plan to monetize their infrastructure assets to create shareholder value; for 10 years they've alluded to this plan but haven't done it. They're protected from takeover, because they're based in Quebec, but they suffer from poor governance.

COMMENT

Owns a little bit in their Canadian equity fund and debates every day whether to sell it. Sold a big chunk of the 407 which was their best asset. Not saying it can't rebound to $40, but this is a stock that hasn't made you money in 20 years.

DON'T BUY

He doesn’t really like it. They have looked into it, and value investors, it is a good candidate. However, they’ve avoided it due to all the controversy. There is a lot of uncertainty around the future. He would stay away.

DON'T BUY

A tricky one. His view is in flux. A tough company to analyze. Maybe now is a dead-cat bounce (snaps back after a heavy drop). What is this business really worth? In two parts. They have concessions like the 407 toll road worth a lot on its own. So you get the engineering/construction side for free, but this side of the operation has performed poorly. He's not convinced they've turned the ship around under the new CEO. There have been governance problems. A lot of hair on this stock.

DON'T BUY

It's bounced back from depressed levels, and enjoyed a decent quarter. They;ve been penalized for cost overruns, so it's important how they execute on current fixed-price contracts. They also are battling a lawsuit that may go to court in 2020--she's watching this.

DON'T BUY

The results were half decent and there were a lot of short sellers that may have had to cover. It is hard to value as there is a lot of uncertainty. They have a lot of debt, and profit is very volatile. They have proven that they are not good operators on the engineering and construction side.

DON'T BUY

Other companies have gotten into trouble bidding on these large contracts. They got rid of part of the 407, which was their cash cow because they needed cash. They still have a stake, however. This whole global engineering space is hard to predict. It is so hard to know if these large companies underbid on these large contracts then 3 years later find they lost money on them.

DON'T BUY

They have a number of huge problems, including the threat of class-action litigation and official prosecution. The contracting business does not seem to be able to make money. The assets are worth more than $16 per share. The issue becomes what is your appetite to accept other people's problems. He does not know if this is the time to buy. It could be the falling knife. He is nervous about it and is not buying.
