Despite the Slump, Construction Projects are Still Supported by Whitehall and this Galloping Giant could Reap the Benefit

Hello Share Followers. Among the few jumbo companies I have confidence in suggesting to you in these stormy days, is Balfour Beatty (BBY). Unusually, for any firm, revenue for the full year is expected to be better than last time round. Only by another 5% from £8.3 billion. But that’s pretty good for 2022.

But now its profits are almost back to pre-pandemic levels.

Want To Build Something Big? Who Ya Gonna Call? Often It's This Resilient Crew

Balfour Beatty – great last year but now time to exit

I see a year ago that Malcolm observed ‘Balfour Beatty Set to Leap Ahead as Covid Restrictions Thaw’. He was absolutely right as reflected by a share price that has risen from 240p then to just over 300p today. Investors who bought the stock however may be thinking about what to do today given a 5% share price fall following the publication of half year results. So what is going on at the ‘leading international infrastructure group…(which) finances, develops, builds and maintains the vital infrastructure that we all depend on’?
