Fluor Corporation (FLR), international design, engineering, and contracting firm extraordinaire, and first discussed here on February 17, 2009 at a price of $39.21, raced to $76 this winter, before correcting to about $68. Hence, if you haven't already, now may be a good time to consider taking some profits if you're in at/near $39.

However, those investors who can tolerate the risk can maintain their full position in FLR, but keep in mind the journey to plus-$80 may not be completed in 2011.

Fluor will likely register double-digit revenue growth in 2011, and another sizable revenue increase in 2012.

Shares of Fluor Corp. (FLR), which had meandered all summer through September in a roughly $43 to $49 range, exploded to the upside this fall, taking out $50 and $60 resistance. I first discussed the Fluor, which closed at $62.24 Friday, on February 17, 2009, at a price of $39.21, and now may be a good time to consider taking some profits.

However, those investors who can tolerate the risk can maintain full position, and go for an even larger gain, as Fluor is likely to continue to head north, once its overbought short-term status normalizes.

The shares of Fluor Corporation (FLR), first discussed here on February 17, 2009 at a price of $39.21, have meandered since September, but I still like the company at this stage. Here's why:

Fluor, a leading international design, engineering, and contracting firm, will likely register a 3-5% revenue decline in 2010, as clients postpone projects until the economic landscape is clarified.

That said, long-term FLR's outlook remains favorable: additional capital investment work in emerging markets will add to FLR's large bookings. Look for double digit revenue growth in 2011.

After a rough patch, the shares of engineering company Fluor Corp (FLR), first discussed here on February 17, 2009 at a price of $39.21, appear to be on the mend.

Fluor's shares fell dangerously close to the $39 sell/stop loss this summer, falling to about $40, but have since recovered.

Long-term, FLR's outlook remains favorable: additional capital investment work in emerging markets will add to FLR's large bookings. Look for double digit revenue growth in 2011 after flat to modest 2-3% revenue decline in 2010. The later is primarily due to clients reducing planned, capital investment projects, as a result of the milder-than-expected U.S. economic recovery.

The standout stat in engineering company Fluor Corp.'s (FLR) first quarter report? All things considered, it was 76-cent earnings per share performance, roughly in-line with the 74-cent Thomson/Reuters First Call estimate.

CEO Alan Boeckmann said end-market diversification enabled the company to deliver "good profitability despite lower new award levels in recent quarters and the trailing impact of a significant reduction in spending by our oil and gas clients." Fluor earned $1.12 per share a year ago.

Fluor Corporation (FLR), which I first discussed here on Feb. 17, 2009 at a price of $39.21, is in the catbird seat.

Look for high single-digit to double-digit revenue growth in 2010 and 2011 with Fluor, a leading international design, engineering, and contracting firm, on U.S. fiscal stimulus package-related infrastructure work, and as oil, gas and electric power companies resume their long-term capital projects.

Make a play at Jacobs Engineering]]>http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/01/24/missed-the-stem-cell-move-make-a-play-at-jacobs-engineering/http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/01/24/missed-the-stem-cell-move-make-a-play-at-jacobs-engineering/http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/01/24/missed-the-stem-cell-move-make-a-play-at-jacobs-engineering/#commentsFiled under: ,

Do not underestimate the power of a new administration in Washington. With the ability to spend a huge amount of dollars, team Obama can wield tremendous influence in the market.

Case in point is the stem cell space. It is widely expected that Obama will issue an executive order eliminating restrictions on stem cell research.

Stocks like StemCells Inc. (NASDAQ: STEM) and Geron Corp. (NASDAQ: GERN) have been moving higher since the inaugural.

Coincidentally, on Friday, GERN announced approval for human trials for its treatment of spinal chord injuries using stem cells. Both GERN and STEM were up big as a result.

Another space expected to do well under the Obama administration is construction. A massive stimulus plan is said to be coming in February. A key point of the plan will be to boost infrastructure spending.

The dollars will benefit companies like Fluor Corp. (NYSE: FLR) and Jacobs Engineering (NYSE: JEC). Unlike stem cells, the market has yet to move these stocks higher. FLR is down more than 10% and JEC is down nearly 18% so far this year.
