Jacobs Solutions (J-N) is recognized as a leading player in the engineering construction sector, particularly within the U.S. transportation market. Despite its strong presence, there is a cautionary note from experts regarding its valuation, suggesting that recent multiple increases limit potential upside in the next year. One expert emphasizes the company's transition from project construction to engineering consulting, which is anticipated to yield higher margins as infrastructure demand continues. However, another expert has recently divested, citing organizational changes and concerns about tax implications for Canadian investors, raising questions about future stability. Overall, while Jacobs Solutions maintains strong market relevance, its immediate growth potential appears constrained, prompting suggestions to consider alternative investments.

Engineering construction. Very strong foothold in the US transportation market. The multiple's moved up a lot since September, so he doesn't see much upside in the next year. Instead, he'd look at ATRL.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 02/23, Up 23.11%)

They're transition from making the projects to consulting on engineering. This will see higher margins. He still likes it, because infrastructure building won't stop in the U.S.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 22/23, Up 10%)

He recently sold it because they are reorganizing, splitting off their critical missions division, but he's worried about the tax treatment for Canadians--will CRA make it tax exempt? Maybe sell it to avoid a tax headache.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 04/23, Up 12%)

He's been adding to this. The 1-year chart has been upward, though a little choppy, now at highs. Has strong upside in intelligence analytics, energy transition and space exploration. Are focused in water solutions and transportation infrastructure, so they will benefit massively from the US infrastructure bill.

BUY

They help design the advanced facilities that produce the popular weight-loss drugs, which will need to scale up to meet the huge demand for these drugs. J's life sciences unit is growing at double digits.

TOP PICK

He bought an initial position but is not going to a full position yet. The recent earnings report was not that good. It is a provider of construction and maintenance services, engineering design, etc. There are great tailwinds with the updating of infrastructure, space exploration, supply chain investments, etc. Its focus on water and transportation is good for infrastructure spending. Good to buy for the long term.

TOP PICK

They serve governments in construction management in consulting, so will benefit from government infrastructure spending. It relatively safe if there's an economic downturn.
