Experts highlight the company as a leading specialty contractor providing infrastructure solutions for electric power and oil and gas pipelines. Recent performance has been buoyed by the growing electricity demand associated with AI and data center developments. PWR currently boasts a market capitalization of $57 billion, supported by strong sales and earnings growth estimates, along with expanding profit margins and robust cash flow generation. While the stock's price-to-earnings ratio has risen to 36 times forward earnings, indicating potential price consolidation, analysts express a favorable outlook and a willingness to buy within the $360 to $370 range.
PWR vs. MTZ MTZ does construction engineering services in the US. Rallied on the back of the infrastructure bill. He prefers Quanta Services, with its better quality management team, better track record, and lower risk areas of operation. PWR has better leverage to the bill and US growth. MTZ is not cheap, so probably won't be a takeover target.
(A Top Pick July 15/14. Down 18.2%.) An energy services provider, the largest construction contractor for oil pipeline construction in North America, as well as the transmission distribution business. A phenomenal company. Management has done a great job. They continue to navigate this market and haven’t really lost any contracts. Valuation is very cheap at about 11X earnings. When energy prices recover, this company will have significant upside.
A service provider that services 2 sectors, transmission/distribution and pipeline. Both segments have significant growth behind them. A cheaper way to play some of the pipeline companies in the US. Top-notch management team with a great track record of organic growth of 10% EPS. If they can do M&A, that would probably add another 2%-3% to that, so you are looking at a business that can give you 10%-15% return. With a flat multiple, this is worth north of $50.
Largest contractor to gas and electric industries in the US. About 80% of their work is to electrical transmission utilities where spending is at a record level. Replacing old infrastructure and the utilities have the money to do this. That is going to continue, because two thirds of the infrastructure is near ending its useful life. On the pipeline side, they are a leader in pipeline building and have a record backlog. Stock is reasonably priced and she expects there is more growth.
