WSP Global Inc. has faced significant scrutiny amid fears that AI technologies could disrupt its engineering services, leading to a pullback in stock performance. Despite these concerns, many analysts express confidence in the company's robust fundamentals, noting a strong backlog of projects and a diversified global presence that minimizes risks associated with economic downturns. The firm's strategic focus on power and energy sectors and disciplined acquisition strategy add to its growth narrative, highlighting a potential long-term upside.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 16/20, Up 80%) Won't buy it at the current $150. Happy to hold it. They grow organically and by acquisition. They bought a leading environmental consulting firm in December which is going well. WSP is in infrastructure, an attractive space due to government spending (i.e. US). The balance sheet remains strong. They will continue to buy companies with geographic diversity.
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.
