Q: Stantec - puzzling

He guys

Saw your answer June 17 when asked about an assortment of options and you suggested STN was still your favorite. Knowing how you analyze in general, I have no doubt STN numbers look very good as does their long term history of quality results.

Mid Feb I took a 10% position and since then (not counting dividends) am down 1%. Long and short of it thus far this year there has been very little capital appreciation at any time. I do plan on holding for the long term but am curious if there are any reasons in particular that might explain the lethargic growth thus far this ear.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Good afternoon,
Re Stantec STN, I have noticed over the last several days that there has been a persistent unusual trading pattern: the stock goes up nicely to high $67's 0R $68 until about 15 minutes before closing and then plunges to no gain or a loss on the day. Although I plan to hold for a long time, I am curious about what this means. Is someone unwinding a large position? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: I am looking at Stantac and Aecon with a view to purchase one of these two stocks. I have looked at various metrics and find it hard to see where one would have the edge over the other. Could you please tell me which you would favour of these two stocks and why, especially with regards to the current and likely economy going forward over the next two years. Thank you for your terrific advice as always.

Q: STN - Stantec

5i April 11 comment mentioned "trading a bit unusual" on "relatively low volume.

Today STN dropped down to it's lowest point of the year again on very low volume and during a period when markets in general are fairly positive.

It's been a steady performer since mid 2012. Anything new that could account for the weakness thus far this year?

thanks for all you do

Q: While I understand that you really like Stantec(STN), the market has been driving the shares down recently. Because your report on Stantec is somewhat dated could you please provide an analysis on the company in terms of earnings per share for the next 1-2 years, revenue growth, share valuation relative to historical trends, etc. What future catalysts do you see as influencing future share prices. Is there potential for the shares to continue downward to the $54 area where they were trading last October. At that price, they would be trading at about 15 times this year's expected earnings. What is a reasonable valuation for the company shares? As a secondary question how often do you anticipate updating company reports? Thanks.
