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.

HOLD

Engineering companies have tailwinds of government and infrastructure spending. He prefers SNC and especially NOA, which has a good backlog and a low valuation.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 24/20, Up 76%) Recent acquisition going well. Strong balance sheet. Grows through acquisition and organically. She'd commit new money in the $130 area. Will do well, especially with the US infrastructure bill.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It reported a strong quarter last week, and they just completed an acquisition. The stock popped 9% on that quarter. She likes this long-term. Buy below $130. It's well-positioned in engineering and design.
TOP PICK
Have been adding to it since last June. Grows by acquisitions and organic growth. Global in nature. Latest acquisition was in environmental design and consulting firm which will have good growth. The balance sheet remains solid and allows for more acquisitions. Half of the business is in infrastructure and could benefit from Biden's infrastructure plan. (Analysts’ price target is $130.38)
BUY
It trades at a premium, but there's a reason for that. Good track record, recent acquisition will lead to growth opportunities, leveraged to environmental services that will be a tailwind for the next decade.
BUY
Their recent acquisition positions them as a leading environmental consulting firm. Right now, it is trading at 27x 2022 earnings. However, they are modelling 33% EPS growth. On a price to growth basis, it is a compelling name. You can still enter at these levels.

TOP PICK
Pure engineering and design, no construction. All but 16% of revenues are outside of Canada. Grows organically and by acquisition. Very strong balance sheet, which was fortified by an equity issue a month ago. Transportation infrastructure is over 50% of their revenue, which will benefit from government stimulus. Yield is 1.77%. (Analysts’ price target is $97.23)
TOP PICK
A global design and engineering company. They have grown by acquisition to increase their global presence. Canada only represents about 16% of their revenues. The company is well positioned for consolidation going forward in this sector. They just issued equity to fund future M&A activity. Yield 1.81% (Analysts’ price target is $96.92)
COMMENT

In the construction space his favorite is WSP Global. SOX is similar and he thinks they may be a value trap as there is some concerns about the dividend, the strength of the balance sheet and their ties to the energy sector.

HOLD
A great stock, but he's only looked at closely last year. It trades at a premium to its peers, but it executes on growth by acquiring new companies. No reason to sell it. Just hang onto it. This growth by acquisition story can keep running. Keep riding it.
