Analyst review: “Fluor is an industry leader with a clear vision. The company has successfully diversified its interests away from being based solely on hydrocarbon activity, though that segment is still very important to the company. Moreover, during a period of weak global economic activity in 1988-1992, the company has been able to increase operating profits almost fourfold and more than double its order backlog. Fluor’s size, reputation, international reach and appropriate energy, electric power and environmental exposure indicate to us that it should benefit from our forecasted pickup in engineering and construction activity over the next few years.” --Tobias M. Levkovich, analyst, Smith Barney Shearson, New York
