Stock Performance
At the time of writing, the stock was trading at GBp 165.85, up 0.94% as at mid-day trading on February 13, 2019. 52 Week high/low of the stock is GBp 195.55/GBp 127.80. 1-year return for the share is -5.5%, while broader index FTSE 100 has shown positive performance during the same period.
Although the current revenue growth looks decent, the expansion phase may slow down considerably after the completion of existing large projects. Tight competition for large contracts, accompanied by rising construction input prices, may add to the risks. The availability of the workforce is likely to remain tight, which may lead to delays in construction schedules.
