Following Valuemoney, who sports an impressive 89% accuracy rating. Jacobs Engineering is a solvent, well run company with excellent prospects and $8.54 per share net cash on hand. Expected earnings for the 09/10 fiscal year are $2.30 per share, which is unusually low for this company. The shares are on fire sale right now because the company recently reported quarterly earnings below expectations along with a reduced project backlog and reduced guidance for the upcoming year. Despite this temporary setback, Jacobs Engineering remains well positioned for the future with a diversified base of private and public sector customers. Currently selling for 1.8 times book value, which is far below its typical p/bv ratio of 3. The current price/sales ratio is 0.4, which is much less than the company's "typical" p/sales ratio of 0.6. Patient investors will be rewarded. This is a phenomenal company with impressive historical growth in sales and earnings. Its future seems bright as a worldwide engineering company with a diversified range of products and customers.

Let's build infrastructure stuff. Tim Allen and me like this because of all the tools these guys have. Is there anything they don't do?

Cheaper than it appears. Sitting on $787M in cash with little debt, higher cash flow than earnings and a lower enterprise value than its market cap.
