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.

TOP PICK

He's traded this three times. because it's been a consistent range of $45-50 since mid-2015. (2.2% dividend, Analysts' price target: $70.73)

COMMENT

He bought it when it was dealing with its ethical issues. The stock has not recovered as well as he expected. He is still waiting for the US and Canadian governments to come through with their infrastructure spending, which would provide SNC with great business. This continues to be a tomorrow stock that he keeps waiting for.

COMMENT

The construction companies are difficult for investors. You can't tell how much money they'll make on a contract. Suppose they underbid or hit execution problems or a customer stiffs them? It's okay to own one of them in a portfolio, but no more. SNC is okay--has worldwide exposure but also carries geopolitical risk. It's riskier than most stocks he owns.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 17/18, Down 3%) Would still buy at this point. Getting penalized because of Saudi-Canadian issues. Geopolitical issues let you buy good companies at a good price.

TOP PICK

Geopolitical risk is priced in. Good backlog of opportunities. Growth coming in. EBITDA could be strong going forward. Yield is 2%. (Analysts’ price target is $70.54.)

TOP PICK

He likes the valuation. The pull back was way over done a few weeks ago. It represents a decent opportunity at this level but some risk. There are risks with the current Saudi Arabia situation. Fundamentals are good for this company. He has a $70.00 target. Yield of 2.2%. (Analysts’ price target is $70.54)

TOP PICK

He picked this because it is down about 10% based on the Saudi Arabia situation with Canada. Revenues in Saudia are 11% or $900 million on long term oil projects. They employ 5,000 Saudis in their projects. The company says there is no disturbance. He thought it was cheap at $57. They have a $15 million backlog. Yield 2.2%. (Analysts’ price target is $70.54)

COMMENT

The dispute between Canada and Saudi Arabia is a concern because SNC has bought companies that do business in Saudi Arabia. However, so far no contracts have been invalidated and there is no negative information about the company’s projects. Uncertainty is hurting the stock price, but their core operations are doing very well. In addition, they are looking to monetize their stake in Highway 407 and this is highlighting the value of that investment whether they make the sale or not. He thinks this is a sound company that he is happy to own. He sees the Saudi Arabia news as noise that should not cause a fundamental investor to take action. He thinks the impact of the dispute will fall more on private individuals than on businesses.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He owns WSP instead. The infrastcuture sector is okay, nothing wrong. Buy on weakness any of these stocks. Commodities will come back and infrastructure will rise along with them.

DON'T BUY

He hasn't looked at this sector in a long time. This stock has gone nowhere. He's waiting for management to shake things up.

BUY

He likes it and it has moved a little lately. They've settled a few lawsuits and are putting their problems behind. Highway 407 has been a fantastic asset for them. SNC has touched $60 for the first time in a while and he sees 10-15% upside in the next 12 months. Be patient. Over the next few weeks you could buy this for a dollar or two lower.

DON'T BUY

The stock has done nothing since 2010. It is finally coming back to where it was in 2010. He doesn’t see much opportunity for dividend growth or capital appreciation with this stock. His model price is $44 (the stock is $59 today). (Analysts’ price target is $69)

DON'T BUY

Technically the stock looks reasonable. However, at 22 times earnings it is not cheap. There had been 70,000 layoffs through the company, he says. It is a mining and infrastructure play. It is not his favorite space to invest.

TOP PICK

A very cheap stock vs. Canadian and US peers. A Canadian company that generates revenue outside Canada--he likes that. It recently broke out and he thinks will continue to make new highs, easily to $70. Their oil and gas business is a tailwind. (Analysts' price target: $69.96)

HOLD

The infrastructure space has been a little disappointing, but SNC has made a good move. Now, SNC is hitting technical levels (limits) now. A good hold for the long term as global infrastructure spending increases.
