Analysts highlight its robust backlog of opportunities across global markets, particularly in power, electrification, and transportation. Concerns about AI taking over engineering roles are seen as exaggerated, with experts affirming the need for professional design and complex project execution beyond the capabilities of AI.

STN
BUY

Purely engineering design and services, without construction exposure. Good track record of acquiring and integrating. Well positioned in vertical markets that she likes. Likes the engineering space, especially with the US Inflation Reduction Act. 

BUY

Likes the engineering/construction space quite a bit. Favours it in his core portfolio. High quality, better Sharpe ratio of less volatility, high returns. Consistent over time, rather than short-term price movements. Setting up to be a leader in the space on the environmental front.

TOP PICK

Excellent company for long term shareholders.
Demand for engineering and design increasing.
Not exposed to construction side of business.
Growth through M&A going well.
Organic growth also increasing steadily.
US Federal stimulus packages good for business (infrastructure spending).
Disciplined on capital allocation and potential acquisitions.

HOLD

Hold on. World leader. Will continue to grow organically or by acquisition for years. Not cheap, but good businesses. Massive infrastructure spend globally.

HOLD
WSP vs. STN

STN is a 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 May 17/22, Up 29%)

Likes its positioning. Very nice acquisitions. Transportation infrastructure has good growth potential, especially yin US. Moving into environmental space, which should grow. Wide geographical presence, with Canada only 18% of revenue. Relatively strong balance sheet. Organic growth still attractive. Didn't raise guidance, but management feels backlog can support growth targets.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 19/22, Up 8%)

Great business. Stable. Continues to find assets to acquire and diversify its business. Likes its focus on the environment. Bottom line is expected to grow 20% this year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

One of the better, if not the best, managed in the group. If you own it for the long term, hold on. Add on any setbacks. He'd seriously consider a position if price was 10-15% less. Company's doing well.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 15/22, Up 6%)

Still likes it. Not in the construction side, but infrastructure. Very global with under 20% revenues in Canada. They grow organically + M&A. They've increased their presence in environmental and infrastructure which boast good growth ahead. Customers are half private, half public. The latter pledge infra spending. Are disciplined buyers, willing to walk away from a weak deal.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

$8.8 billion in debt but shareholder equity is $6 billion, so there is not a lot of debt. He models $113.35. Hold this in a recession or bear market, but buy this below $134.

STRONG BUY

Really strong chart, up and to the right. Seeing a series of higher lows and higher highs. Poised to test recent highs and break out to new all-time highs, which is really, really positive. Definitely would be adding exposure.

SELL

Over the last 10 years, price has one trajectory but the FMV has another. It's the "jaws of death". Trading well above FMV, plus it's expensive, probably means we're going to get a setback in the stock.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 05/22, Up 10%)

Has owned this for years. A play on the infrastructure build. Very well managed. A huge global infrastructure consulting firm. Shares are a little high, but he isn't selling or adding more.

HOLD
A purely consulting and design company, no construction risk. Has made strategic acquisitions to increase presence in lucrative growth areas such as environmental and infrastructure, especially in the US. Very global, Canada is less than 20% of earnings. Grows organically and by acquisition. Balance sheet still quite strong.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 05/22, Up 2%)Bought a company in central Europe today Still likes it as an infrastructure play. Has held this for years. Very diversified portfolio. Acquisitions are key for WSP. However, a deep recession will see valuation pull back and he will likely sell some shares.
