Read MoreHide Full Article
On Jun 4, we issued an updated research report on Tetra Tech, Inc. (TTEK - Free Report) .
In the past three months, this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has gained 16.4% compared with the industry’s increase of 3.7%.
Existing Scenario
Tetra Tech remains bullish about its growth prospects across all four client sectors, namely, U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, the U.S. commercial and international. The company expects sales from these markets to grow at a rate of 5% for fiscal 2019 (ending September 2019). Sales from U.S. state and local clients are expected to jump 15%, supported by strong growth in municipal water infrastructure and disaster response recovery services. U.S. commercial sales are expected to rise around 5% with continued increase in sustainable building designs and environmental services.
Also, in a bid to maximize growth prospects, the company is currently focusing on high-end consulting and engineering services that is helping it promote its high value and high margin business, thus differentiating it from peers.
Moreover, Tetra Tech expects that solid opportunities across the globe will boost its international revenues. For fiscal 2019, the company expects a 10% growth rate in its international clients, particularly in Canada and Asia Pacific region. In addition, infrastructure and industrial work in Canada, and commercial and environmental programs in the United States are likely to supplement the company’s top line.
In addition, the acquisition of eGlobalTech (closed in March 2019) is predicted to solidify its business from government and commercial customers. Further, over the past few quarters, the company has consistently returned significant cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. It’s worth noting here that Tetra Tech announced a 25% hike in quarterly dividend rate in April 2019. Such diligent capital deployment strategies boost shareholders' wealth.
Roper delivered average earnings surprise of 8.43% in the trailing four reported quarters.
Dover pulled off average positive earnings surprise of 8.61% in the previous four reported quarters.
DXP Enterprises delivered average earnings surprise of 48.47% in the trailing four reported quarters.
