Fluor (NYSE:FLR), Foster Wheeler (Nasdaq:FWLT), McDermott (NYSE:MDR), CB&I (NYSE: CBI) Barclays' Favorite E&C Picks

Saying they prefer "oily" E&C picks for 2011, Barclays (NYSE:BCS) favorites in the sector are Fluor (NYSE:FLR), Foster Wheeler (Nasdaq:FWLT), McDermott (NYSE:MDR) and CB&I (NYSE:CBI).

Barclays said, "We remain bullish regarding the prospects for many of our Engineering and Construction stocks under coverage in 2011, led by continued global economic improvement, higher oil demand/pricing, and accelerated growth in oil & gas awards.

"We still like "oily" E&Cs with significant international exposure (our favorites remain Fluor (NYSE: FLR), Foster Wheeler (Nasdaq: FWLT), McDermott (NYSE: MDR), and CB&I (NYSE: CBI)) when analyzing E&C potential growth and stock price performance in 2011 and introduce target multiples on 2012 earnings that are two turns higher than our previous multiples.

"We maintain our target P/E valuation multiple of E&Cs with significant exposure to domestic power/utilities as we believe meaningful recovery in utility spending is still slated for the late 2011/2012 timeframe, including expected ramp-up in commercial nuclear and emissions control work (Shaw Group (Nasdaq:SHAW), Babcock (NYSE:BWC), MasTec (NYSE:MTZ))."

Fluor closed Friday at $65.92, gaining $0.57, or 0.87 percent. Foster Wheeler closed at $34.88, down $0.32, or 0.91 percent. McDermott closed at $20.04, gaining $0.11, or 0.55 percent. CB&I ended the session at $32.88, up $0.61, or 1.89 percent.

Fluor (NYSE:FLR), Foster Wheeler (Nasdaq:FWLT), McDermott (NYSE:MDR), KBR (NYSE:KBR) EPS Estimates Raised

Saying energy infrastructure will lead the Engineering & Construction sector in 2011, Gleacher & Co. said they're raising their earnings estimates on Fluor (NYSE:FLR), Foster Wheeler (Nasdaq:FWLT), McDermott (NYSE:MDR) and KBR (NYSE:KBR).

Gleacher stated, "In conjunction with rolling out our 2012 EPS estimates, we are increasing our price targets on Fluor to ($67 from $60), Foster Wheeler ($35 from $30), McDermott ($23 from $21) and KBR, Inc. ($33 from $30). We believe the trough in industry backlog is behind us and market conditions are favorable for energy infrastructure equity appreciation.

"In general, we maintain our view that international energy/mining infrastructure companies will drive better investor returns than domestic Federal and energy exposed companies. Gulf Island and B&W are exceptions to our thesis as we believe pure-play Gulf of Mexico fabrication and nuclear will outperform other US
end-markets."

Gleacher has a "Buy" rating on the the stocks mentioned above.

Flour closed Monday at $57.98, gaining $0.39, or 0.68 percent. Foster Wheeler ended the session at $29.11, rising by $0.33, or 1.15 percent. McDermott International closed the day at $18.17, dropping $0.22, or 1.20 percent. KBR ended at $27.68, losing $0.06, or 0.22 percent.

Fluor (NYSE:FLR), McDermott (NYSE:MDR) Remain Attractive to Barclays (NYSE:BCS)

In the U.S. Engineering & Construction, Barclays (NYSE:BCS) remains a bull on Fluor (NYSE:FLR) and McDermott (NYSE:MDR).

"After meeting with FLR and MDR at BarCap's Energy/E&C conference, we remain bullish on both stocks. We see several commonalities between the two companies including: 1) we think both companies can continue to grow backlog over the near to medium term, 2) both management teams seem focused on being as proactive as possible in risk mitigation of their project portfolios, and 3) both management teams seem like they will be prudent but proactive regarding significant cash deployment," said Barclays.

"FLR management not surprisingly continues to be bullish regarding
significant potential oil & gas opportunities in the near term including the large multi-billion dollar Santos GLNG opportunity, which we still think could be booked by the end of 2010. Importantly, we think FLR may have more of a handle around its problematic Greater Gabbard offshore wind project than we thought.

"MDR management continues to be bullish on near-to-medium-term prospects for larger bookings in Asia and especially in the Middle East, while the Atlantic Basin could be a significant source of longer-term growth. While timing of new awards for MDR is always difficult to determine, we think MDR's good customer relationships in the Middle East and Asia could mean lumpy but generally increasing backlog for the company in 2011. Moreover, MDR management seems to be very focused on proactively mitigating risk throughout its project portfolio."

Fluor surged Thursday, closing at $57.08, gaining $2.13, or 3.88 percent. McDermontt closed at $17.64, gaining $0.35, or 2.02 percent. Trading volume for both companies was above 3-month daily averages.
