SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (ATRL-T)

It is an uptrend but he recently sold two weeks ago because it was overbought and there may be a pullback. It is fine for the longer term investor.

They changed their name, improved productivity and cash flow. They trade at a discount to the group. They have a major nuclear plant projects and many engineering projects in China. People are considering nuclear positively again that will benefit ATRL.

Has sold shares. Didn't earn enough returns. Sold at $50. Chart not looking good. 

He bought it in the 20's. IT is still trading at a reasonable price/growth so it is a good opportunity to buy.

It is going through a turn around recently and de-leveraging the balance sheets. Nuclear energy reactors is a pretty exciting part of the business. He prefers WSP with its M&A activity and design component.

A lot of action's already happened on this stock. He bought on the breakout, and now there's consolidation. Chart's looking positive, likes the formation, though you may have to live through a bit more consolidation. Yield is 0.1%.

Strong performer over the year. Execution should continue. Got rid of legacy contracts. Strong in civil engineering and nuclear. Could see large growth from nuclear especially, if projects continue to be built.

Strength in stock price lately. Highly ranked in technical analysis. Owns shares in company, and would recommend buying. Sector out performing with increase in infrastructure spending. 

He's done 2 legs so far. That's how you should approach a stock, not all in all at once. In an uptrend, resistance coming up. Generally, you don't argue with an uptrend.

Currently in "up trend". Consolidating higher. Large swings good for investors. Will continue to own, and buy more. 

Well diversified geographically in Canada and beyond and in end markets. Strong balance sheet, but profits are below the market average. (Will change company name and ticker.)

It has done very well and is well poised for the next five years. It has changed its name and has a new ticker symbol.

Have they atoned for their bribery sins and reformed? It's a different company now, out of the energy business and run by different people. He needs to look at this closely. It nearly didn't survive its corporate misconduct.

Many companies in the nuclear space are either government entities or divisions of larger companies. But for E&P companies, SNC has significant industry experience and it has won several contracts in various countries this year. As an indirect play on the sector, it works, and it has a big backlog. It has not been our favourite company, for various growth reasons and scandals, but things have improved immensely and very strong earnings growth is now expected. It is not 'cheap' at 27X earnings but for a nuclear-focused investor we think it has some attractions.

Not a bad business, but bad news keeps turning up. Closed the valuation gap. Likes the engineering/construction space quite a bit. He favours WSP in his core portfolio. Valuation stretched, be cautious.
