WAIT

Likes it. Doesn’t know how earnings will come out but they have a very large backlog and are winning contracts on a regular basis. Don’t buy right before earnings.

TOP PICK

A terrific growth story in the last few years. Benefiting enormously from infrastructure spending. Project backlog is now $2 billion and still growing. Low dividend but more of a growth story. Good management.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 2/09. Up 39%.) Well positioned. Getting a lot of projects in Ontario, out West and in the oil sands. Has a couple of good years of growth ahead of it. Trading at about 4-5 times operating cash flow. Still a Buy.

TOP PICK

Primarily Canadian infrastructure with toll crossroad in Israel and Ecuador airport as big contracts. Acquired an oil sands and oil sands related company in February, which won the big fire-bag restart from Suncor (SU-T). Stock really moved on this but has now pulled back. Good backlog.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Well managed construction company. Leveraged to oil sands.

BUY

Canada's largest infrastructure and construction company. Bidding on an unprecedented number of infrastructure plays. Great balance sheet.

TOP PICK

All the contracts are now being signed and putting them together you get a growing infrastructure play, which isn't so dependent on the economy. Trading at 12X next years earnings.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 2/09. Up 50.24%.) Undervalued at 4-5 times cash flow and is a great growth story. Key player in infrastructure projects. Still a Buy.

DON'T BUY

Convertible debentures. Does not recommend these. Yield to maturity is very low at just over 5% and these are non-investment grade securities. Yield on the underlying unit is about 1.2%.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Done well lately within the infrastructure group. Announced a number of contracts. He owns Stantec because it only does the engineering, diversified throughout North America. But Aecon is a well managed company, a little expensive and could be bought during a pull back.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Had a big pop on the announcement by Suncor (SU-T) of starting up of Firebag #3 and #4 which will be done by their acquisition earlier this year.

TOP PICK

It is the new SNC. Emerging as one of the leading Canadian construction companies. It has a record backlog. It’s bidding on an unprecedented level of infrastructure and oil sands contracts. It looks very cheap. Wants to own this for many years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 20/08. Up 150%.) Cheap at 5X operating cash flow. Infrastructure projects are key. Acquired Lockerbie & Hole at the bottom of the oil hole was great. Well positioned.

BUY

Signed a new contract sooner and larger than expected, which is why people are excited. Ranks 209. Not keen near term because recent earnings were down 22% and coming quarter is supposed to be down 25%. However earnings growth for 2010 is expected to be 23% against a 14 PE, which is attractive.

STRONG BUY

A major Canadian company in heavy construction, which has been a very good sector over the last 6-7 years. Has broken out of its base in the $13 range and is now off to the races.
