Foster Wheeler Ltd. (FWLT)

They announced good earnings beat estimates by 12 cents per share. The stock got beat up due to the fact that the CEO shared a softness in the NA market but this sector is about 10% of total revenue for the company.
Their backlog has grown and they will continue to have earnings growth.
Definately a buy.

Foster Wheeler has leading technology that is used in the gasification of coal to produce energy. It is also a leader in the efficiency of the boilers it uses to produce electricity. It excellent worldwide clients to include China.

You've GOT to be kidding me on this: FWLT is down 7.5% today after selling off 38% from its July high of $75. This company posted a 14-cent beat, grew backlog 47% to $8.2 billion, and grew its revenues 43%. It's trading at 12 times earnings, 1 times revenue and backlog. It will grow 40% this year, double digits next year, and there is a good chance the company will get taken out. Fundies for the long term look FANTASTIC here...

High cash reserves, low debt. High presence in Asia. High technical expertise with advancements that keep their equipment viable for producing power even if use of coal is reduced. Beginning joint ventures in co-owning power-producing facilities and is continually looking to make acquisitions that will help increase their technical advantage. Worldwide presence in the power-producing sector.

Thinking about the uncertainty between recession and inflation, I conclude that the infrastructure spending is one of only two or three effective ways Bush and/or the next president can implement "an economic stimulus package" that addresses both the concerns farm and oil belt economists feel over inflation, AND jumpstarts stocks in strategic sectors of the economy, addressing Wall Street's worries about an "un-wealth effect" recession.

Infrastructure spending also addresses the 'moral hazzard' concern, and avoids bailing out the imprudent financial/lending houses.

If limousine conservatives insist on making the Bush tax cuts permanent, effectively the first, last and the only way out of our worries, then this bet is off (bolstering the case instead for the speculative financial sector stocks, where 85% of that excess capital lands, and where ironically it often vaporizes, as we may be witnessing now.)

But, I don't see limousine conservatives in a particularly powerful position right now... and Bush needs something that actually works to help the Republicans avoid a political landslide with coattails.

Ironically, it may be the Democrats who drag their feet on any big government spending in infrastructure... but sooner or later this sector will pick up, and FWLT will come with it.

Great company on a nice run for the past couple weeks, but do for a small pull back. Looking to get back in at the low 70s or high 60s. Great company.

designs, builds oil refineries, natural gas facilities, chemical plants. Services coal burning boilers and waste for power companies. the industrialization of China and India should keep them busy for a long time

Stock has dropped recently with sharp decline in oil prices, but this is an infrastructure company with a major backlog/inventory of major projects (at least one year if not more) and they continue to win more.

Foster Wheeler is an infrastructure company that could build another infrastructure company if it wanted to. They have a back-log of orders reaching out for a few years. That means a few years of already in-the-bank profits. The bears can't keep this stock down forever. The story is just too good.

I see a 50% increase by 2Q09.

I understand past results do not provide future guidance. However, past results indicates the performance of a company. Backtesting on my portfolio indicates $100,000 invested in FWLT in January 2005 would have yielded a whopping total of $1,017,000 as of 01/28/08. This gain is after FWLT posted losses from October 2007 to January 2008. The FWLT stock split of 2/1 on January 23, 2008 gave an adjusted share price of $61.40, with an intraday drop to a low of $55.46. For some reason FWLT sometimes trades with oil stocks ups and downs. Regardless, an investment in FWLT gives me a global play without sole reliance on the U.S. market and is a good play on a probable U.S. bear market. Since I am a swing trader, I missed about $725,000 in FWLT gains because I was "a fool" and listened a little too much to Fast Money advisors' who recommend "always take your profit so you can buy low and sell high." I am going to ignore those fast people and be a long term "fool" on FWLT for the next three years with the gain I did earn from FWLT. Hopefully I will make a "fool gain" like I could have earned "without being a swing trader, taking short term profits, timing FWLT lows and trying to sell high. I have read somewhere that "when a stock goes to an all time high and splits, the stock will again go to an all time high and split again within a 2 to 4 year time period." Wow, for three years I will no longer watch FWLT on a daily basis nor listen to fast money TV advisors. This fool is already feeling better.

Foster Wheeler is one of the top international engineering and construction firms out there. As the world capitalizes on bridge building and construction, they will once again recapture market share they once held.

Pounded down unfairly, poised to win BIG with infrastructure deals, doing well in Asia too.

over the past 12 months ,27.9% income growth, and 34.2% sales growth for fwlt and the price is way down about 1 third the price from one year ago, unless you can find a better growing stock, this stock has 7 or more sectors worldwide that they can grow more from engineering and construction as things start to pick up.I am looking to things get better a little at a time. may be able to buy this stock cheaper.

$5 per share EPS in 2010 should be within reach. And with P/E holding in the 20s while the growth rate steadies in the low teens, we should be looking at $100 a share in 1-2 years with not much downside risk based on their huge backlog of projects.

Excellent company that appears to have come close to its bottom. Recent sell-off for beating earnings while being realistic about future earnings. The market has priced in these low earnings estimates and now is the time to get in. Low debt to weather the current storm and great potential for LT growth.

Are you guys on crack???

This name HAS to be the single-most oversold stock in the S&P over the past month, despite announcing new contracts nearly every day. The global infrastructure story is REAL, and FWLT is in a great position to be a leader in this arena. Under $50, this stock is a gift. I am a buyer at these levels
