DON'T BUY
Wouldn't be buying. Lumpy business, because when you get that large, it's hard to keep moving the needle. Engineering consulting is tough. NVEE, a US company, is in his portfolio. NV5 Global does growth by acquisition, no overseas risk. NVEE stock's a bit volatile, because of a recent accounting scare.
DON'T BUY
It is doing a stair-step action down. You have to be careful with stocks like this. It could be a value trap. He would not recommend it.
SELL

Stay away. This company is under attack from various directions. It's flailing, trying to sell  its crown jewel assets. Many negatives here. If it does happen, it could have a nice move up. Too risky.

WAIT
The government seems like it wants to penalize SNC unfairly and will cost taxpayers mega-millions. The people who caused problems for SNC no longer work there. It simply doesn't make sense. These politics don't have great understanding of business. He is wary about investing in SNC. There could be more shoes to drop. Management is making smart moves, like selling off part of the 407. Be patient and wait. If you own it, maybe hold it.
HOLD
It is oversold, but there is no justice in the markets. It has been in a band since its troubles re-exerted themselves. Just because it is oversold is not a reason to go buying it. We need to break through the band we are in now and then will challenge the $40 range. The 407 is worth $28, which got sold recently. He would stick with it.
DON'T BUY
SNC-T sold their 407 highway earlier. This was a big piece. He is worried there is something else lurking out there on another of their projects. Don't buy it if you don’t like volatility.
COMMENT
Has never owned it. Might be a good buy in time, but they have a lot of fires to put out.
DON'T BUY
There's so much going on that could lead to, say, criminal charges. It was humming along well, before the political scandal erupted. If you own this, wait and see--hold. If you don't, don't enter it, don't catch the falling knife. See how things shake out.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 30/18, Down 38%) Gapped down, now a political football. Had been basing before that. Look at the long-term trend, and as long as it holds between $33-35, looks as though it would get worked out. Could be tax-loss selling down the road, but for now, he likes it and he's holding.
DON'T BUY
Too much noise. A political football. Whether they get a deferred prosecution doesn't matters. They've been a political protected company for a long time. A totally unknown environment. He's steering clear.
PARTIAL BUY
The latest drop in the chart is political. You can buy say 500 shares now. Good assets and oversold. He expects a nice pop here.
DON'T BUY
Is it too big to fail? A cheap stock now, but there are too many problems with it in Libya, the Middle East as well as high governance risk.
DON'T BUY
Stay away. It's a political hot potato. The cockroach theory says 3 issues, and SNC has 5. Shareholders are being punished. You can own something else that doesn't have quite the baggage. Now the balance sheet looks questionable. Alternatives are WSP and Toromont, even though they're more expensive. Aecon is another name as well, though not her favourite.
DON'T BUY
Given the current political turmoil. SNC owns the 407 highway, a fantastic asset which alone is worth $30--today's SNC stock price. So, the rest of the business is free. Oil and gas has been tough on SNC, which SNC is involved in. Also, SNC's board should be dealing with the current political issue; the board is inefficient.
PARTIAL SELL
There will be a lot more bad news. It's unfortunate, because infrastructure projects are growing and this bad news will preclude them from bidding on them. Definitely wait. If you hold it, take some shares off the table.
