WSP Global Inc. (WSP.TO)

BIP.UN vs. WSP They're different businesses. WSP is a consolidation play on the engineering side and have done a great job growing and consolidating that space. But he prefers BIP, though he expects WSP to continue to do well. BIP is more stable.

Sell Rogers to buy WSP? They're completely different companies and sectors. WSP grows by acquisition. Rogers isn't allocating capital wealth well, which has driven their valuation to an 8-year low. Conversely, this makes Rogers attractive. It's probably oversold. Don't sell. WSP: the valuation is too high as they've bought three companies recently, so he won't buy it now.

As SNC Lavalin has gone down, WSP has gone up. They ahve an $8 billion project backlog. It's cheap with great cash flow. They made 5 good acquisitions this year. A slow, steady grower with a huge backlog. They hit a new high today. (Analysts’ price target is $82.50)

Sold off the construction side? STN-T sold off the construction side of the business, where margins were poorer. They will work to reduce debt going forward, so he is not concerned. He would prefer WSP-T.

WSP Global is pretty much the gold standard. They are pretty much 100% consulting, whereas STN-T and SNC-T are not. He has shied away from the whole sector. The problem is the engineering and construction business, which he has never liked. Margins are razor thin. STN-T wants to get away from E&C. He would buy WSP-T on a correction. STN-T might be a buy at some other point. SNC-T he stays way from and has done so for many years.
