The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Atkinsrealis's share price has been improving since the federal government unveiled its nuclear energy strategy on Monday. The Globe's David Berman writes that the bullish case for the stock rests on Canada's nuclear plan unfolding through the 2030s and beyond, as the government upgrades the country's electricity grid with reliable renewable energy and international buyers come calling as the profile of the Candu brand rises. The nuclear theme, however, hit a bumpy patch over much of the past year, after enthusiasm for the sector faltered under the weight of high investor expectations and lofty stock valuations. Atkinsrealis has been caught in milder slump. Perhaps this dip is exactly what investors were waiting for. The share price has gained about 11 per cent over the past week, as of Thursday, suggesting that some investors may be sniffing a bargain now that sentiment has cooled. "We continue to see significant value in shares of AtkinsRealis with nuclear-led growth, an active mergers and acquisitions pipeline and opportunities for margin expansion across engineering services," Chris Murray, an analyst at ATB Capital Markets, said in a note last week.
