URS May Benefit from Stimulus

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:03:00 GMT

In our November 06, 2008 report on URS Corp. (URS), we wrote: "The demand for energy be it derived from fossil fuel, nuclear, solar, wind, water, and/or other sources continues to grow during bad times and good. When FDR came into power, the WPA was the principal tool of his administration to turn the economy around (which had foundered then because investors borrowed money to buy stocks they couldn't afford, rather than homes, but the result was the same). "There are a lot of unemployed people from the construction industry that could be put to work in all manner of ways that would enhance the country's energy resources, as well as in rebuilding the country's infrastructure (such as the interstate highway system which was put into place during the Eisenhower era). "The[More...]

December 8, 2008: Infrastructure Stocks To Profit From The President-Elect, Part 1.

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 04:08:00 GMT

As we await the next deluge of freshly printed loot from the Treasury to debt our way out of the recession, a bit of pre-emptive research may assist you to find stocks which may profit from the Obama infrastructure plan. My initial investigation into this realm led me towards some interesting securities. Perhaps a few may be appropriate for your speculative portfolio. Here they are: MCEM - Monarch Cement Company. The Portland Cement-brand company has excellent cement products for infrastructure projects. Trading at $25.75 and yielding 3.57%. 52-week range between $20-30.00. TXI - Texas Industries is a heavy construction play. Excels in three areas,cement, aggregates and consumer products all tied to infrastructure. Trading at $30.48 and yielding 1.0%. 52-week range between $19-80.00. USLM - United States Lime and Mineral Company. A lime and limestone company that plays a role in the construction, steel, municipal sanitation, water[More...]

Back of Envelope Look at Infrastructure

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:11:00 GMT

Back in the old days, we used to look at individual companies, sectors... analyze industry data points, do comparative valuation analysis, read earnings reports with great interest, etc etc. Those were good times. Now, we wait every day for 3 PM, play a bunch of ETFs for a 1 hour trade, and then try to predict what ETFs would be best suited for the next 2-48 hours based on charts. That's "investing" today. Just for old times sake I thought I'd look at a group that I (still) like for the long run - it seems almost every world government is going to fix their issues with infrastructure projects. The problem is the consensus that project after project will get cancelled due to low oil prices and lack of credit. It really does not matter what side of the chalk line you are on - when these stocks rally people will cling to one side of the arguement and when the stocks sell off, they will cling to the other. This is called constructing a story based[More...]

E&C/Aerospace/Defense - Zacks Analyst Interviews

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:37:00 GMT

ENGINEERING & CONSTUCTION: The demand for energy ? be it derived from fossil fuel, nuclear, solar, wind, water, and/or other sources ? continues to grow during bad times and good. When FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) came into power, the WPA was the principal tool of his administration to turn the economy around (which had foundered then because investors borrowed money to buy stocks they couldn't afford, rather than homes, but the result was the same). There are a lot of unemployed people from the engineering & construction (E&C) industry that could be put to work in all manner of ways that would enhance the country's energy resources as well as in rebuilding the country's infrastructure (such as the interstate highway system which was put into place during the Eisenhower era).

URS Corp. Upgraded to a Buy

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:50:00 GMT

Of URS Corp.?s (URS) current $17.9 billion backlog, 7.8% is Power, 14% is Infrastructure, 58.1% is Federal and 20.1% is Industrial/Commercial. At this point, the Power sector probably has the best outlook, as the switch appears to be on from coal-fired and oil-fired plants to gas-fired and nuclear-powered plants. Infrastructure is increasingly being financed through bond issues, which should be a positive. While Federal will remain an unknown until after the election, Industrial/Commercial could be problematic, given the current economic environment. URS continues to make bolt-on acquisitions, and Zacks has upgraded URS from a Hold to a Buy. URS continues to see favorable trends in the Federal Government sector. There is strong funding for O&M programs -- which is expected to reach $300 billion in fiscal 2009, a 7% increase over[More...]
