Fluor (FLR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Fluor's financial performance in 2024 demonstrates strong growth across its core segments, with Mission Solutions and Urban Solutions generating notable year-over-year sales increases of 20% and 21%, respectively. The company has raised its operating cash flow guidance to a range of $250 million to $300 million, indicating a healthier financial outlook supported by a diversification into markets experiencing secular growth, such as advanced technologies, life sciences, and infrastructure. Additionally, with a book-to-burn ratio that improved from 0.4x to 0.8x, and an enhanced balance sheet positioning Fluor towards potential investment grade status, the company exhibits significant prospects for double-digit earnings growth in the medium term.
Bears say
Fluor's financial outlook appears negative due to significant declines in operating profit and margins, with a reported operating profit of $34 million and an operating margin of only 4.5%, adversely impacted by contested costs on Department of Defense projects. The company's total backlog dropped by 10% year-over-year to $28.236 billion, driven primarily by a 42% decline in the Energy Solutions segment, further exacerbated by substantial revenue reversals including an 82% year-over-year sales decline in Energy Solutions. Compounding these challenges, Fluor has postponed its medium-term adjusted EBITDA target by an additional year, underscoring concerns regarding slowed growth in new awards, particularly in the Energy Solutions segment, anticipated to remain weak through 2026.
