PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 03/19, Down 2%) Still decent, though hit by bad earnings recently. There could be a giant US infrastructure build next year by Washington. He's concerned that this is underperforming the market and is trading below its 200-day moving average.
TOP PICK
Largest engineering company in the S&P 500. Public construction spending is trending up. October - January is optimal holding period. Coming back down to major moving averages, which gives a good risk/reward entry point. (Analysts’ price target is $93.93)
DON'T BUY

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.

HOLD
There are 4 major North American companies that he likes and owns in the infrastructure space. This is one of them along with Fluor (FLR-N), SNC-Lavalin (SNC-T) and Stantec (STN-T). The latter two are the cheapest and would be the ones he would add if you wanted to.
DON'T BUY
All the engineering companies have been doing fairly well in the last while. This one has good exposure. They've been working in oil sands quite a bit. Valuation looks like it's stretched. For a Canadian play on this that's trading a little bit cheaper, SNC-Lavalin (SNC-T) might be one, but even its evaluation looks stretched.
