BUY

Given negative headlines He recently bought this infrastructure stock. This was a pariah from 2011-18 under old management implication in bribery scandals abroad. They cleared those issues, but a residue of old alleged corruption surfaced two weeks ago. He takes comfort that those employees are no longer there and that the allegation happened over 20 years ago. He still sees this as a good opportunity and entry point now.

contractors

BUY

Legacy issues are likely cleaned up. Stock's acting well technically. Likes the stair-step, rally-consolidate characteristic. Earnings growth likely to be quite strong. Engineering sector will benefit from infrastructure projects. He doesn't own it, but could.

contractors

TOP PICK

Exemplifies growth and cyclicality. Engineering design, natural resources, infrastructure, and other sectors. The economic backdrop is bright for companies like this. Governments want to do infrastructure renewals. Governance and management missteps are being worked on. (Analysts’ price target is $41.07)

contractors

WATCH

Starting to get their house in order. Winding down all construction projects to focus on design and services. Trades at a discount. Wants more consistent execution before she invests. She owns WSP instead. (Analysts’ price target is $41.00)

contractors

WEAK BUY

A lot of the upside from the Biden bill has been priced into the stock. Valuation is not as demanding, so there might be some incremental upside, especially if they can avoid past issues. Controls and governance have tightened up. Risk of previous issues is very low, but it's anybody's guess whether there are still skeletons in the closet.

contractors

DON'T BUY

He would leave it alone. He avoids these engineering and construction businesses. He likes solid recurring revenue in a capital-light business. It is a difficult business to project going forward. New management has done a much better job and the stock was much undervalued as we came into 2021.

contractors

COMMENT

They've gone through management changes, cost overruns in their construction business, and legal and regulatory issues which are now behind them. They're repositioning as a pure design-advisory company while letting the constructions projects roll off. So, there's still some risk in cost overruns. She likes this sector, but prefers another company. SNC's valuation is depressed vs. peers. She wants to see how SNC management performs and finds organic and M&A growth. She's on the sidelines now.

contractors

BUY

Management's restructured for better earnings control. Engineering service as a fee. Global infrastructure spending will help a lot of the engineering firms.

contractors

TOP PICK

Years of being uninvestable, but overhauled the Board and the leadership team. Akin to an airline, where the safest airline to fly on is the one that's just had a crash. Engineering, design, procurement, management. Will get their fair share of global government infrastructure funds. Value, cyclicality, growth. Only 18x earnings. Yield is 0.24%. (Analysts’ price target is $40.14)

contractors

WATCH

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company reported earnings much better than expected. EPS was particularly better at 56% ahead of estimates. Good growth year over year according to the report. A very solid showing considering the company typically misses. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

contractors

DON'T BUY

In the news a lot, and you never know what's going to come up from the past. Better E&C companies out there, such as WSP Global. It trades at a premium, but there's a reason for that. Better track record, recent acquisition will lead to growth opportunities, leveraged to environmental services that will be a tailwind for the next decade.

contractors

SHORT

One of those stressed companies in terms of earnings quality. They have shorted it. The short positions have had a shock to the system on Monday with a rush to cover cyclical recovery. Price momentum is mediocre and valuation is not there. They have negative return on equity and no real yield. Still in the penalty box.

contractors

DON'T BUY

Could make a profit, but in middle of massive reorganization. Too much risk and too little dividend. Aecon has grown backlog significantly, continues to beat on results, and yields nearly 5%. Aecon will benefit from any increase in infrastructure spending.

contractors

BUY

It is one of his favourite stocks right now. Some of its attributes will shine in 2021. The 407 is used a lot more again post-COVID shut down. He is not worried about their debt.

contractors

COMMENT

With today's stimulus announcement, these kinds of companies will see continued demand for their services. They have baggage, but there will be projects and spending that will help these types of companies. Long term, there is a tail wind.
