This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts express a generally positive outlook on Stantec Inc (STN-T), emphasizing its ability to leverage AI technology rather than being replaced by it. They note that the company's recent securing of a contract for upgrading water and wastewater infrastructure positions it well for future growth, predicting a 10% rise in both profits and dividends. With a solid yield of 0.65% and a significant growth expectation, the stock is seen as a good entry point. Comparisons with WSP indicate that both firms are well-managed and strongly positioned in the infrastructure spending cycle, but STN may have more growth potential given its smaller size. Overall, large established companies like Stantec are favored for their safety and stability amid economic uncertainty.

Valuation

WSP

TOP PICK

North American engineering firm. Infrastructure play. Recently purchased a largely environmental engineering firm. Earnings over the next 2 years should be around 2.25 or higher.

BUY

In the infrastructure group he looks at Aecon Group (ARE-T) SNC Lavalin (SNC-T) and Stantec (STN-T). From a valuation point of view, he prefers this one. Multiples are cheaper and it is a bit more North American. Trading at under 3X BV.

TOP PICK

Infrastructure play. Great little engineering firm. Nicely positioned to Buy without much downside risk. Good defensive play. Even though world economies slow down, infrastructure will not.

PARTIAL BUY

Engineering/consulting. Grow through acquisitions. 5-year chart shows earnings up 50%. Subject to your view of the market, start with a small position

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Involved a lot on residential development.

TOP PICK

Relatively ignored engineering company. Thinks they will earn in the neighbourhood of $1.80 this year and is very inexpensive.

HOLD

An example of a consolidator. Grows by buying small engineering companies in the industry. If we are into less vigorous growth in the next couple of years, this would not be as attractive as it was in the past. Also, if you grow by acquisition there is always the danger that you are buying some trouble.

TOP PICK

Design and does engineering work for buildings, architecture etc. Very disciplined company and it came off quite a bit because of some residential work in the US. Expect they will earn over $2 a share in the next couple of years.

TOP PICK

Has achieved something like 20% annualized growth since its IPO in 1994. Management is talking very conservatively and one of their major practices is in residential and non-residential construction and this has hit the stock. The environmental and infrastructure sides of the business are booming. Cheap.

TOP PICK

Infrastructure play. Cheapest in the sector. Looking at 19% to 22% earnings growth over the next several years. Aggressively buying up small to midsize engineering and environmental consulting firms.

COMMENT

Continues to be a growth by acquisition story. Ranks 374. Year-over-year earnings growth was kind of OK at 12%. Earnings are expected to grow by 24% by 08 year-end giving a 16 PE.

COMMENT

Infrastructure play. Pure engineering company and does not take any construction risks. Have a very large exposure to the development of site preparation for residential development, particularly in California. For the longer term, this is an outstanding company.

BUY

A wonderful little company. Has done very well in terms of the engineering field. Have a history of developing decent contracts. Good management team.

DON'T BUY

Becoming fully valued.

BUY

You have to consider it in the infrastructure space along with SNC Lavalin (SNC-T), Jacobs Engineering (JEC-N) and Fluor (FLR-N). This trades at a much lower multiple at around 20X 08 earnings and is the cheapest. Two thirds of growth comes from acquisitions, so there could be execution risks.
