This summary was created by AI, based on 13 opinions in the last 12 months.

Stantec Inc (STN) is viewed positively by several experts, who highlight its growth potential driven by a strong presence in the U.S. and robust regional performance, especially in water management sectors like Germany. There are mixed sentiments regarding organic growth; although it missed expectations recently, future acceleration is anticipated supported by infrastructure spending and favorable margins. Concerns related to artificial intelligence impacts seem to be overstated, as experts believe these companies will leverage AI tools rather than be replaced by them. The company's adjusted valuation is appealing, trading at approximately 14x PE for expected 14% growth, and is seen as a solid buy for long-term investors looking for sustainable returns and potential growth through mergers and acquisitions. Overall, despite some fluctuations and market fears, the outlook remains optimistic with a focus on infrastructure and environmental improvements.

WSP

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.

BUY

For an infrastructure play, prefers this to SNC (SNC-T).

HOLD

Good company. 25% APS growth over last 25 years. Focused on sustainability. Thinking outside of the box. Will be Net beneficiary. Plan to hold 5 years. Will return 12-15% per year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 17/06. Up 75%.) Sold his holdings between $28 and $30.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 18/06. Up 73%.) Sold his holdings a few months back. Well run company. Would consider buying back if it dropped in price.

HOLD

Part of his infrastructure theme. Expensive, but he will continue to hold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 13/06. Up 4 9.9 %.) An engineering firm that has been acquiring single office engineering firms in the US and Canada. Still considered a Buy.

BUY

One of North America's leading engineering firms. Lower multiple than its peers.
