They've had 3 CEOs in the last 2 years and were the subject of an SEC investigation and had to delay their financial statements. They're getting rid of Stock, a subsidiary. Lots of moving parts here. United Rentals, SNC Lavalin and Jacobs Engineering are better.
Premium contentThe world renowned engineering company stock has been sliding, despite recently reporting $1.8 billion net income and an 11% increase in revenue — which fell marginally short of analyst expectations. The company has a long runway of projects including a LNG export project in Canada. It trades at 12x earnings, 1.6x book and supports a robust 72% ROE. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $29, looking to achieve $52 — upside potential over 40%. Yield 0%

Had a bit of a speed bump a couple years ago with quick CEO successions. Last couple of years have been good. Last earnings report was not great. Revenues missed. Could be due to project decisions were put on hold for the elections due to uncertainty. Watching to make sure it gets back on track. Some concerns but it is a good quality company.
