Notably, the company will provide services, including planning, program development, design generation and construction. These services will be vital in upgrading existing facilities and constructing state-of-the-art facilities for the federal agency.
The aforementioned contract will help Tetra Tech strengthen its existing business in the Middle East. In July 2019, the company won a similar architect-engineer contract valued at $46 million from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Transatlantic Middle East District.
Tailwinds
We believe that order wins, especially from the U.S. federal government agencies, will be beneficial for the company in the quarters ahead. At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 (ended Sep 29, 2019), it had solid backlog of $3,092 million, reflecting year-over-year growth of 16.1%.
Of several federal contracts, Tetra Tech secured a $40-million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) and a $500-million contract from the U.S. Agency for International Development (“USAID”) in October 2019. Also, the company secured a $48-million contract from USAID in September 2019.
For fiscal 2020 (ending September 2020), Tetra Tech anticipates sales from the U.S. federal clients to increase 5-10% on growth in the U.S. federal budget.
Zacks Rank, Price Performance and Earnings Estimates
Currently, the company has a market capitalization of $4.7 billion and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Tetra Tech gains from strengthening business in Europe and the U.K., acquired assets, and shareholder-friendly policies. However, woes related to the U.S. federal business, high costs, geopolitical issues and unfavorable movements in foreign currencies remain concerning.
In the past three months, Tetra Tech’s share price has increased 6.1% compared with the Original post
