This summary was created by AI, based on 30 opinions in the last 12 months.

WSP Global Inc. has become a focal point amidst the evolving landscape driven by fears surrounding AI disruption. Many experts express confidence in WSP's long-term growth potential, highlighting its robust $17 billion backlog and strategic acquisitions, particularly in the power and energy sectors, which are expected to benefit from increased infrastructure spending. Despite concerns about AI impacting demand for engineering services, experts argue that the unique challenges of large-scale projects, such as bridges and dams, cannot be easily mitigated by AI technologies. WSP's ongoing growth, historical performance, and its global footprint position it as a reliable player in the engineering sector. However, some analysts suggest waiting for a more favorable entry price, indicating the stock's current price may not fully reflect its potential for long-term gains.

BUY

This was a Québec-based company that grew through acquisition. Unlike many other companies, they don’t do construction, only engineering and mainly through oil sands, mining and consolidation. Going through a tough patch right now because of a big acquisition where they issued a lot of stock to finance it. Acquisition has a lot of exposure in Europe. Believes they bought it for strategic reasons and they’ll benefit when the upswing comes. Feels the dividend is sustainable.

COMMENT

Québec-based engineering/construction firm. Very well run company. Pays a very attractive dividend yield of about 7%. Feels the prospects for it are fine. There has been some concern in that sector that a lot of these companies have significant projects with governments, large oil/gas companies and if there is a slow down in the more cyclicals sectors in the economy, a company like this could face pricing pressure or lose contracts. One of the better run businesses in that space.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Margins are much better on engineering consulting than on construction. Owns this but probably won’t keep it. He would be a buyer below $20. 6.8% dividend yield.

BUY

Did a large UK acquisition. Margins are less than the North American business so the blended margins don’t look as good. He is not hung up on the margins. 6.9% yield.

TOP PICK

Engineering/design firm. Stock is off significantly over the past few months due to an equity raise and their acquisition of WSP Group, a very large British engineering firm. Very well run company and dividend yield of 7.1% is very secure. Very strong visibility and an outlook for earnings growth as we get into 2013-2014.

BUY
Acquiring WSP Group. Of all the major public engineering type companies in Canada, this is the best of breed. Has a much steadier quarter to quarter profile. Very well run. 6.5% dividend is sustainable and over time it will grow.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Not his favourite sector but if you do have to be in infrastructure this would be the one.
TOP PICK
Likes the engineering services space generally. Does no construction, just design work. Very strong insider ownership. 6.2% dividend yield is very attractive. Expect they will continue to grow earnings out at a high single digit or low double digit rate over the next few years.
HOLD
Has always liked it but has not done well this year.
TOP PICK
Engineering services firm out of Quebec. Good management that have grown organically and through acquisitions through the years. Nice mix between government and private contracts. Well positioned for any economic rebound. Expect 6% yield to be maintained after conversion Jan 1.
BUY
Good infrastructure play. Likes the way they run their business. More on the front-end engineering and design. Cheap.
BUY
Infrastructure is an area that should be somewhat resistant to a recession/depression because governments will be spending. Extremely well run. 60% of their business is from federal, provincial and municipal governments. 6%-7% distribution. Good long-term hold.
TOP PICK
Engineering company. Every $1 they make has profit. Lots of growth. Trades around 6.5 X free cash flow per share this year. Will benefit on any Canadian infrastructure spending. 60% of revenue is government related. Cheap. Risk/reward is reasonable.
TOP PICK
Engineering company. 100% Canadian. Very high percentage is government infrastructure building. If the world goes into a recession, the government will announce a huge infrastructure-building program. Currently generating about 15% free cash flow yield. Last quarter EBITDA was up 80%. Very cheap.
BUY
Has done a very nice job of growing. Likes the engineering aspect of it for the infrastructure build that they will take part in.
