The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that according to Irene Fernando at RBC Global Asset Management, Atkinsréalis Group is a stock to watch in 2026. The Post's Jane Switzer writes that two years after rebranding from SNC-Lavalin Group, the Montreal-based company has emerged with a renewed focus on engineering services and zero debt, and is actively adding new capabilities and scale through acquisitions. "When you're buying Atkins today, you're buying a clean balance sheet with the opportunity to grow the core business and use that balance sheet as leverage to tack on M&A," Ms. Fernando said. The potential role of artificial intelligence in engineering is also an "active discussion" in the industry, she said, and could be an opportunity to make processes more efficient and create capacity for engineers to take on more projects and earn higher margins. The nuclear power renaissance could also be a boon for Atkinsréalis and its wholly owned subsidiary Candu Energy Inc., which designs, builds and services nuclear reactors and is the exclusive licensee of Candu technology from the federal government. "If you look at Ontario alone, Atkins can make so much money just by winning contracts," she added.
