HOLD

Backlog is down but it is very high quality. Don’t have to worry too much about governments having to find money for projects, because they are actually funded by the private sector now.

BUY

He is going to wait on it. Like a small cap SNC. Had a problem with fixed price contracts abut that has passed so now all they have to do is deliver on backlogs.

HOLD

Price to book value numbers have gone up over time. Currently at the low end of its historical range. In 6 to 8 months they will get themselves into more good projects. At that time, the stock will spite and that will be the time to get out.

BUY

Construction. Was in a fixed price contract with Suncor (SU-T) on a firebag contract but had major overruns creating a loss in the quarter. Likes the management. Yield of about 2.5%.

DON'T BUY

Chart shows a downtrend from late 2009. Just made a higher low, but not worth the risk. Probably better choices in the sector.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 26/10.Up 9%.) Convertible 7% bond maturing Sept 30/14.

HOLD

Has gone under a great deal of stress over the last couple of years. Didn't make their objectives or their earnings. Also had some management turnover, which may correct some of their underlying problems. He is looking for earnings to recover.

DON'T BUY

Last quarter was mixed. Profits weren’t so good and backlog was just OK. Their problem has not been getting new business, but making money on the business. He will hold for another quarter to see how their half year is.

BUY

There has been no particular news. It is going down on low volume. It doesn’t need economic growth because it has an excellent backlog. It depends on your patience whether you hang on. He is going to buy it soon.

DON'T BUY

Sold off in 2008 and then did a double base formation in 2009. Now falling back and should find support around $8.60. Below $8 would be a buying opportunity, but be sure it is not falling below the 200 day moving average.

DON'T BUY

Wants to see some changes in the earnings profile before he goes in. Looking at the economic backdrop, they should be very well positioned. Have been struggling in some of their divisions, have had some management changes and struggling with earnings growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick May 17/10, Down 16.84%) This is an execution problem. They have a record backlog. All they have to do is deliver profitably on the backlog. Last two quarters they didn’t. He is hanging on. Thinks it will come back.

BUY

They had disappointed last year and pre-announced a contract loss. Now, have a better outlook and a record outlook. Under $10 is a good entry point.

WAIT

Were very comfortable with the investment. Recently they fell on hard times due to profitability. They bid too aggressively in projects. Usually new management comes into the business and turns it around but it will take some time. 2 – 3 quarters.

HOLD

Starting to look like fairly good value. Had a change of management. Take on a lot of the construction risks with their projects. (See Top Picks.)
