Stantec Inc (STN-T) is viewed positively by various experts, primarily due to its solid growth profile and strong free cash flow generation. Concerns regarding the impact of AI on engineering firms are seen as overstated; rather, AI is expected to enhance their service capabilities. The company won a significant contract for water and wastewater infrastructure, indicating a favorable trend in environmental remediation and infrastructure spending. Analysts anticipate approximately 10% growth in both profits and dividends, positioning STN as an appealing investment with a decent yield.

STN vs. WSP

Good investment in the sector. WSP management track record was better, so she chose it and doesn't need two names. Both are well-positioned in the right verticals.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 09/23, Up 4%)

A lot of the construction/engineering names look really strong. Beautiful chart. Making new highs, so we're not in a bear market. Continues to like this name.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Great company in strong sector.
Shares have performed well the past few years.
Goo long term investment. 
Would wait to buy after seasonality (purchase in September).

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Great things for many years. Look for some of the cheaper names. For fresh capital right now, he'd look more to beleaguered SNC for more opportunity. If you hold, don't sell, but wait for weakness to add.

TOP PICK

Making new highs, and there's nothing more bullish. Really positive. Yield is 0.97%. 

(Analysts’ price target is $87.10)

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

STN has staged a nice recovery, and we like it.  
ARE's recent results were good, but it has had fixed-price contract issues in the past, and it is much smaller than the other two. 
WSP has executed well, has a strong backlog, made good acquisitions and has a global presence. 
We also like its recent forays into ESG consulting. 
WSP would be our choice, even at a more expensive valuation. 
We think $168 to $170 would be an attractive range.

COMMENT
WSP vs. Stantec She prefers WSP is solely in services and design consulting while Stantec has some construction operations. WSP grows organically and in buying companies including recent ones in the past year that have elevated their presence in the environmental and water sector and will be prominent. They have a good track record of buying and integrating.
BUY
Ton of demand in the space. Big fan of WSP or STN, which focus on the engineering rather than the risk of contract pricing with ARE.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Robust growing backlog. Improving fundamentals. Solid growth expected for 2022. Valuations reverted to long-term average. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

SELL
Data back to 1995 shows valuation high is EBV 5. It went there, and now it's correcting. Model price of $51.21, so still an almost 10% overvaluation today. When it bottoms, it will bottom around $40. Industrials don't do well in a recession.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Has had a solid recovery and the momentum has improved with fundamentals. Expectations for next year’s revenues and earnings growth are solid. There is a lack of revenue growth recently, but its profit margins are increasing. Believes the company can continue to increase in value. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY
Believes that the company's new management team has done good job focusing on key business. Earnings and profits have been rising. Margins are improving so hold stock if you own. Company raising dividend by 10% is better than most companies in the world (average is 5%).
