After Taking a Fresh Look at Fluor, We Lower FVE to $46 and Moat Rating to None

After taking a fresh look at Fluor, we lower our moat rating to no moat from narrow, consistent with other engineering & construction, or E&C, firms under our coverage. Furthermore, we lower our fair value estimate to $46 from $50, primarily as a result of our revised moat rating and a more conservative 3.8% midcycle operating margin assumption (versus 4.5% previously). Despite lowering our moat rating, we still view Fluor as a best-in-class E&C firm.
Fluor generated impressive ROICs...
