The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Dec. 15, edition that Desjardins Securities analyst Benoit Poirier, who covers transportation, aerospace, and engineering and construction companies for the brokerage he works for, expects lower rates to "pave the way for an industrial renaissance." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Poirier has named AtkinsRealis, formerly SNC-Lavalin Group, his "preferred E&C name" for 2024, touting a "rerating opportunity as the stock continues to trade at a significant discount versus its peers." Mr. Poirier continues to rate AtkinsRealis "buy," with a $53 share target. Analysts on average target the shares at $50.54.
