Broadpoint.Amtech Initiates Coverage on Willbros Group (WG) with a Buy; Leading North American Pipeline Contractor Nov 11, 2009 11:09AM

Broadpoint.Amtech initiates coverage on Willbros Group, Inc. (NYSE: WG) with a Buy. Price target $24.

Broadpoint analyst says, "We are initiating coverage of leading North American pipeline contractor Willbros Group with a Buy rating. Recent results and contract wins along with our industry checks suggest the pipeline business is turning the corner. Our secular view of shale development drives our long-term thesis."

Willbros is one of the top mid-stream infrastructure providers: The company has shifted away from high risk regions to North America, where pipeline build-out, in our view, offers one of the only major energy infrastructure themes for investors to make money...Recent acquisitions have diversified Willbros’ mix towards a more favorable balance of upstream/downstream work and services/recurring revenue in an otherwise fixed-price dominated pipeline market that can be very lumpy...Secular thesis unchanged...Stock move only the beginning: We believe the recent stock move will mark the beginning of a re-rating by investors to reflect a resumption of activity. We see longer term EPS power of $2 and view our medium-term price target of $24 as achievable."
