Fluor Corporation Research Report
Fluor saw its stocks fall 2 percent this week despite posting
better-than-expected financial results for Q4 2012, as well as
posting solid earnings guidance for 2013. The company delivered a
profit with a 75.56 percent increase in adjusted earnings per share
to $1.58 from 90 cents posted the same time last year, while
revenues rose 12.32% to $7.02 billion
year over year. The numbers are true despite the "surprising and
unexpected" adverse arbitration decision on their Greater Gabbard
claims, according to chief executive David
Seaton. In addition, Fluor was recently awarded a series of
follow-on contracts from Barrick
Gold for new scopes of work at the Pascua-Lama mining
project at the Argentina/Chile border. The deal is included in the
company's Q4 2012 backlog. The Full Research Report on Fluor

KBR, Inc. Research Report
KBR, known for its military contracts, released its Q4 2012
financial numbers on February 20,
where they beat expectations on earnings per share. The company's
EPS came in at 20 cents, trouncing
the estimated 2 cents per share, but
was 67% lower than the prior-year quarter's $0.60 per share. However, revenue failed to meet
the expected $2.1 billion at only
$1.87 billion, and is 11 percent
lower year over year. Nevertheless, the company is set to bounce
back this year amid the so-called "shale revolution," with areas of
development for gas processing, fractionation, petrochemicals,
exports for liquefied natural gas (LNG), and generating power from
gas. KBR, in particular is seen to win gas-to-liquids, LNG,
ammonia, and petrochemical work in North
America. The Full Research Report on KBR, Inc. - including

Tutor Perini Corp Research Report
Tutor Perini announced that it has won the bidding of the
$102.7 million replacement of the
City Island Road Bridge over Eastchester Bay, where it will be
building New York State's first
cable-stayed bridge. Work is expected to begin in April 2013 with substantial completion expected
by July 2016. Meanwhile, the company
posted earnings this week with increases in earnings per share and
revenue, although they did miss expectations. Adjusted earnings per
share grew 32% to 66 cents in the
quarter versus 50 cents per share in
the year-earlier quarter, while revenue increased 1.35% from
$1.1 billion sequentially, but was
.05 percent less year over year at $1.11
billion. The consensus estimates were 67 cents per share and $1.15 billion for earnings per share and revenue,
respectively. The Street upgraded the company from "sell" to
"hold," citing improved cash flow and debt. The Full Research Tutor
Perini Corp - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings

Quanta Services Inc. Research Report
Quanta Services fourth-quarter earnings rose 49% at $99 million or 46
cents a share, up from $66.3
million or 32 cents year over
year due to increased electric-power revenue. However, the company
warned it expects emergency-restoration revenue to return to "more
normalized levels" during 2013 as regulatory and permitting hurdles
could hurt in the long term. Nevertheless, analysts are bullish on
companies like Quanta which provide services to energy transmission
companies, and expect a combination of factors to drive a
three-fold increase in North American transmission spending over
the next 10 years. The Full Research Report on Quanta Services Inc

targets - is available to download free of charge at:
