Fluor Corporation (FLR) Earnings: An Early Look

Page 2 of 2

One interesting element of the engineering business right now is the potential for consolidation. Just last week, Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (NYSE:CBI) completed its buyout of engineering and services firm Shaw Group, boosting its size to directly challenge Fluor’s leadership in the industry.

In Fluor’s earnings report, watch closely at whether the company is able to bounce back from a disappointing report last quarter. Having issued somewhat disappointing guidance for 2013, Fluor needs to lay the groundwork for how it expects to bolster growth to take advantage of a broader economic rebound when it comes.
