Fluor (FLR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Fluor reported a substantial increase in Urban Solutions sales, achieving a 45.8% year-over-year growth to $2.157 billion, exceeding market consensus expectations of $1.962 billion. The company also demonstrated a proactive approach to capital management by repurchasing $142 million in shares during the quarter, with plans to increase its share buyback target to $600 million in 2025. Additionally, Fluor's earnings stream has diversified significantly, benefiting from growth opportunities in advanced technologies, life sciences, mining, metals, and infrastructure sectors, which positions the company favorably for future growth.
Bears say
Fluor reported an operating profit of $5 million and an operating margin of just 0.8%, a significant decline of 290 basis points, primarily due to a $28 million reserve related to a project from 2019, despite some volume growth. Additionally, the report indicated a first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $0.73, which, while surpassing consensus estimates, included a $15 million foreign exchange headwind tied to a specific project, indicating ongoing financial volatility. Furthermore, the company's year-over-year operating profit dropped to $47 million with an operating margin of 3.9%, reflecting issues with project completion and additional reserve impacts from a joint venture in Mexico, demonstrating a troubling trend in operational efficiency.
