Gold prices steady as traders assess Fed rate outlook after soft US data
Investing.com - DA Davidson has reiterated its Buy rating and $50.00 price target on Fluor (NYSE:FLR), the global engineering and construction company. The stock, currently trading at $41.07, appears undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis, with a P/E ratio of just 1.69 and strong financial health metrics.
The research firm described Fluor’s recent quarterly performance as "noisy" and noted slower bookings momentum for the company. Despite these challenges, DA Davidson maintained its positive outlook on the stock, supported by Fluor’s solid balance sheet with more cash than debt and revenue growth of 3.62% over the last twelve months.
A key factor in the firm’s assessment is Fluor’s plan to monetize a portion of its small modular reactor (SMR) investment, which the analysts view as a positive development for the company.
DA Davidson has revised its estimates lower for Fluor but emphasized that the current value of the company’s SMR ownership is significant and should be acknowledged by investors.
The research firm specifically noted that the SMR investment could potentially benefit shareholders if a portion of the value is returned through share repurchases.
