The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that according to Brianne Gardner at Velocity Investment Partners, Raymond James, WSP Global is a stock to keep an eye on in 2026. The Post's Jane Switzer quotes Ms. Gardner saying, "The big story this year is how active WSP has become on strategic deals." The Montreal engineering company has made 24 acquisitions over the past five years and has reportedly made an offer on U.S.-based Jacobs Solutions Inc., which shows the company is "playing offence and shaping the industry, not just competing in it," she said. With projects in more than 40 countries, WSP spreads its risk across dozens of sectors and regions, and is positioned to benefit from government spending on large-scale infrastructure plays from transport to water and renewable energy. The company's backlog is up to 11 per cent, "which tells us clients are committing to long, multiyear projects rather than pulling back their investments," Ms. Gardner said. "It is a stock that we would be adding now, especially because it has kind of pulled back recently. When you consistently integrate acquisitions, hold your margins and grow through every part of the cycle, investors are willing to pay up for that reliability."
