Fluor Corp. has been facing challenges as its stock price continues to slide, despite a reported net income of $1.8 billion and an 11% revenue increase, which fell marginally short of analyst expectations. Analysts are optimistic about the company's future, citing a long runway of projects, including a significant LNG export project in Canada. The stock's valuation metrics display a price-to-earnings ratio of 12x, a book value of 1.6x, and a remarkable Return on Equity (ROE) of 72%. While some recent earnings reports have raised concerns, particularly with revenue misses linked to project delays, the overall sentiment remains positive. Notably, analysts suggest a stop-loss strategy with an upside potential exceeding 40%, indicating their belief in recovery and growth in value.
Had a bit of a speed bump a couple years ago with quick CEO successions. Last couple of years have been good. Last earnings report was not great. Revenues missed. Could be due to project decisions were put on hold for the elections due to uncertainty. Watching to make sure it gets back on track. Some concerns but it is a good quality company.
re: Biden infrastrcture plan FLR would benefit from Biden's plan, but FLR wouldn't be his first choice. They've had 3 CEOs in the last 2 years and were the subject of an SEC investigation and had to delay their financial statements. They're getting rid of Stock, a subsidiary. Lots of moving parts here. United Rentals, SNC Lavalin and Jacobs Engineering are better.
The political risk is prevalent across the industry, as we saw with SNC. There are better opportunities. The business is highly cyclical and subject to government policies. He would stay away, but it is a high quality company in the space.
An engineering company. Has been looking at this for the last few years. He passed on it because about half their business is very much tied to the energy industry. They work on a lot of huge mega projects. Energy prices being low has negatively impacted them. The company has massively missed their guidance continuously, for the last couple of years, including their most recent quarterly earnings. Their backlog is declining. The dividend is probably secure.
A large E&C firm, very global in nature. For many years, their execution was very good. Has gotten more interested in this, because by being highly diversified, they can tackle the largest and most complicated projects globally. Their challenges are twofold. They are market driven. As an example, their mining backlog has fallen by over 90%. It is cyclical, and is much closer to the bottom that it is to the top. Secondly, they’ve made mistakes with some really shoddy execution in some areas. Dividend yield of 2.1%. (Analysts’ price target is $46.50.)
The largest engineering/construction company in the world. If he wanted to own an engineering company, he would be looking at the Canadian ones, because the valuations are very good. At some point, there will be massive spending on engineering in Canada, and he would rather go that route. Prefers Stantec (STN-T).
This has corrected, so he is tempted. It closed at $46.19, and he has a model price of $41.52. It is 10% lower than the price, but he would like it to correct some more. Would love to buy this at a valuation low of $37.53. He would buy some now, and if there was a further correction, he would buy more.
Will this be a beneficiary of the Trump trade? This is an infrastructure company, so if you want to build dams and dig roads, you would think this would be a natural beneficiary of that. But if you look back to when Obama came in, there was a lot of hype and a lot of noise around infrastructure projects that were going to be done. Very few of them got shovel ready. Good stock and good cyclical if you want to get infrastructure spend, but he does wonder about US commitment. He would take a pause.
Owned this in the past. A global engineering/construction company that is very diversified geographically. Very well-run. She got out because of their end markets in terms of energy and mining, which were in a downturn. When things are stabilizing and improving, this could be a name that she could enter.
This builds large construction projects. You would think that in an environment where we are going to start to see infrastructure spend, that the company should be positioned. It’ll be interesting to see if the US is actually going to dig; start building dams, pipelines, etc. and the actual execution occurs. That is the challenge. He would prefer SNC-Lavalin (SNC-T).
