Consulting and design business within engineering sector (intangible assets). Company is growing earth and environmental business segments. Global business with operations across the globe. Current share price presenting good buying opportunity. Strong balance sheet with ability to acquire business' in soft economy. Organic growth ~8% last quarter.
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Business is mounting. WSP’ Q2 reported a record $11.4 billion project backlog, jumping 19% year-over-year. The balance sheet is robust, helped by cost-cutting early in Covid. WSP is a growth-by-acquisition name, including a mammoth $2.3 billion deal with John Wood Group’s environmental and infrastructure business. Hope are pinned on integrating this U.K. Company as the company continues to buy during its three-year-growth plan. Read 3 Solid Infrastructure Stocks for our full analysis.
BUY
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.
TOP PICK
Has followed company for years and decided to purchase shares with recent selloff. Very impressed with management team. Recent John Wood acquisition a catalyst for buying shares. Major supported of environmental water products. Current valuation level presenting good buying opportunity.
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.
BUY
He recently added WSP, the gold standard in engineering consulting, a global leader.
BUY
She's adding at these levels. WSP has executed well. They have fully integrated an acquisition from a few years ago and bought another company, this one in the environmental side. They always garner the premium multiple vs. other engineering companies. She likes WSP for being in consulting and services, not construction. Shares got ahead of itself. Have pulled back as interest rates have risen. S&P executes very well and is not in construction. Valuation is far more reasonable now and deserves to trade at a premium to peers.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
His preferred name in the space, but currently underweight. Last year, lots of excitement around infrastructure plans. But now concerns about economic slowdown. Best in class. Excellent job of executing on accretive M&A. Not a bad entry point, but be prepared for volatility next 12-18 months.
TOP PICK
Last week, they reported strong organic growth across all regions. They will benefit from the infrastructure build next year in the US. Have a great balance sheet and will make more acquisitions. Strong organic growth too. (Analysts’ price target is $175.00)
TOP PICK
The stock has come off recently, but has done well in recent years. With its global footprint, it's resilient if the economy weakens this year. It will benefit from infrastructure spending that he expects to come. Solid balance sheet. Well-managed. (Analysts’ price target is $195.43)
DON'T BUY
It is way over valued by 30% over fair market value. Historically it has peaked out at 2X book value. It now trades at more than 4X book.
HOLD
Believes is a good company. One of the better companies within industry. Services expand across large geographic area. Share price is a little expensive. Global need to build infrastructure will benefit company. Good long term hold if you own shares.
TOP PICK

Bought it two years ago. They grow organically as well as through mergers. They made a great acquisition, big in environmental, which closed end-2020. WSP guides growing net revenues past 5% 2022-2024, then continuous margin improvement. Strong balance sheet. Can augment organic growth with new buys. The US infrastructure bill will help their growth in the next two years. Has a global presence, too. (Analysts’ price target is $195.43)

WEAK BUY
Engineering firms help build the infrastructure, but then they leave. He prefers to own the companies that build the assets with the engineers, but then collect the cashflows from the infrastructure project over the next 20-40 years. If he were going to choose one, it would be WSP, with its strong growth and good margin profile relative to competitors.
