Minus $2billion in net cash, the company sell for about $4.2B, the company sells for about 10x FCF. Recent drop in backlog shouldn't be too worrisome, since management has proven itself to successfully navigate this recession.

Looking at the 1Y chart FLR and the SPY have converged. I'm going with the dogs sleeping with cats theory that this stock cannot coexist with S&P 500.
Whether it goes higher or lower then the S@P is kinda a crapshoot.

today we have:
S&P @~1066 & FLR @~45
I'll bet on FLR.
This is an infrastructure firm that will profit better than the majority of S&P the next 10 years, so you can bet the actual stock will outperform the next 5 years

All of the industries within their business lines are suffering, however, signs of improvement for the supported industries show promise. Once the global recovery is sustained, which is likely over the next few months, stock should perform extremely well

As a global engineering company, Fluor is well positioned to take advantage of the ongoing stimulus programs. Despite the company's excellent position, its stock price has suffererd since it missed revenue estimates last quarter. The market was seemingly unimpressed by the fact that the company's new orders actually increased. I noticed Fluor this month because it is currently one of the 30 best magic formula stocks with market caps above $1 billion. The balance sheet is debt free and loaded with cash. Returns on investment are apparently spectacular. I hope the company eventually does something productive with all that cash.

Great company - solid management, pristine balance sheet, a huge backlog of projects that can keep them busy for years, and more infrastructure projects to come once the stimulus money really starts flowing. Also was recently awarded a huge $3 billion contract for military support services in Afghanistan, and beat out former favorite for Afghanistan contractor KBR for the deal.
