Thomas GeorgeJacobs Engineering Group Inc.JECDON'T BUYMar 02, 2018

This is a well-run company, but it is not the time to invest in engineering companies. They made a recent acquisition to make themselves one of the largest in the sector and could benefit from the Trump Administration Infrastructure initiative, but is skeptical that interest rates may cause issues.

Infrastructure Bill of late 2021 money is only trickling out now

A general contractor that oversees the construction of a project and will directly benefit from the bill. Their new digital platform will help speed and accuracy of projects. Shares are barely up for the year, so this is an opportunity. There's a lot of room to run.

A steady business and is cheap enough (though not very cheap). There will be more and more onshoring. Jacobs does engineering, so you need them when you build a new facility. They rely on government contracts and consulting. A good, steady business.

(A Top Pick Dec 16/21, Down 9%) Is now Jacobs Solutions. Trades at 18-19x earnings. Deeply involved in the US infrastructure spend, the $1 trillion infra bill. 95% of that spend is in Jacobs' wheelhouse. Well-run and supports a PE around 19x.

Washington has passed two infrastructure bill, meaning a ton of spending. So how do you play this? Jacobs is a major player in construction and engineering, not sexy and boring, but they lead in this space and can be lucrative in the coming year. Sure, government infra spending can take time and Jacobs shares fell today, which makes it an opportunity. From 2019-2021, they boasted strong, steady revenue. That's why shares rose, though it's been in a trading range in the past year. Share are up 31% over three years. The CEO is looking ahead and sees acceleration in 2023. Be patient with infrastructure spending. jacobs has a lot of overseas exposure and has been hurt by the strong USD. 2023 projected sales and earnings are 6% if the USD remains at these levels, but 10% if the USD relaxes. The latest numbers saw light a backlog, due to currency fluctuations, but the CEO says that the huge federal government spending is starting to work its way through. Trades at only 16x 2023 earnings. Will perform well even in the face of inflation.

They help build the infrastructure, but then they leave. He prefers to own the companies that build the assets with JEC, but then collect the cashflows from the infrastructure project over the next 20-40 years. If he were going to choose one, it would be WSP, a higher quality player than JEC.

One of the largest in the States. Infrastructure bill is almost 100% guaranteed to be enacted, so we're going to see a lot of construction over many years. Trades at 19x earnings, not excessive. Recent acquisition puts their finger in the 5G pie. Well positioned to do well in the current environment. Yield is 0.60%. (Analysts’ price target is $160.86)
