Although many experts express bullish sentiments about its long-term prospects, there are concerns regarding the stock's valuation following recent price increases, suggesting that potential investors should consider entering on a pullback.

TOP PICK

Diversification across Canada. Great operational performance and good profitability metric over time. 7.5% yield is expected to be maintained through conversion in 2011. Payout ratio is around 35%. Phenomenal balance sheet.

BUY

Has been really beaten up. Have about $14.70 in cash. Payout ratio of about 36% in 08 and 09 will be more difficult. Very cheap.

TOP PICK

Infrastructure Play. Conservatively managed, low payout ratio. Only risk is if the backlog falters or they don’t do well competitively.

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Sees construction activity slowing quite dramatically in western Canada.

BUY

Over $1 billion backlog. Best of the infrastructure companies. Still making good money.

BUY

General contractor and regarded as one of the best in Canada. Not a REIT so will be impacted by the trust legislation in 2011. Have a very healthy backlog with a lot of work in Western Canada. On his radar screen.

TOP PICK

Big play on the oil sands and this may be why it is going down. Well diversified engineering/construction company. Grew its earnings 218% last quarter and trades at 8.5X earnings. Margins have gone up 50%. Top quality management team. 4% yield. Exceptionally cheap.

BUY

This is the highest quality name in this space. Trades at a discounted valuation to a lot of the other infrastructure players. Very astute management team. 3.4% yield.

BUY

One of the most interesting companies in the engineering and contracting space. Probably have one of the best histories in terms of profitability and margins. Very well managed. Long-term hold.

TOP PICK

Not in the housing market. Involved in infrastructure. This business is priced for very modest growth, but infastructure spending is up big.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 22/06. Up 37%.) Manages infrastructure contracts and deals. Highly trusted by government departments and large companies it works for. Huge backlogs.

BUY

Had a good run which reduced the yield to 6.75%. They will go through the 4 years for income trusts and come out as a corporation. Expecting higher dividends.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 29/06. Up 3.2%.) Runs mainly infrastructure projects. Hires other companies to do the work. Have long-term clients. Pays a good dividend. Very high quality.

BUY

Engineering and infrastructure. They will be able to change back from an income trust to a corporation. Just won a contract out west. No reason it can’t continue to give you good distributions through the 4-year income trust gravy train.
