		<description><![CDATA[URS Corporation (URS) has won a contract from BP Products North America, a group company of  BP Plc (BP) to provide construction and maintenance service to the Whiting Refinery in Indiana. The contract is of a three year duration and carries a maximum potential value of $150 million to URS. URS continues to see favorable trends in the federal government sector. There is strong funding for O&#38;M programs &#8211; which means increased opportunities to support long-term Department of Defense (DoD) initiatives and stable funding for the Department of Energy’s (DoE) environmental and nuclear programs, including the National Nuclear Security Administration. Consequently, URS continues to expect that revenues in its federal sector will be between $4.3 billion and $4.5 billion in 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[We upgrade our recommendation on Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (JEC) from Underperform to Neutral, based on the expectations of modest recovery in the company’s business in the upcoming year after bottoming-out in fiscal 2010. During fiscal 2010, Jacobs came across with the continuous decline in its backlog, especially in the sluggish economic environment, which reduced the client’s spending power. Decrease in backlog in fiscal 2010 would have a negative impact on the top-line results of fiscal 2011. Hence, we maintain our fiscal 2011 and 2012 estimate at $2.55 and $2.85. We believe gradual recovery in the economic conditions and Jacobs’ diversification across markets; geographies and services along with a number of new contracts will help the company to perform better in future. Jacobs has a successful record of more than ]]></description>

Earnings in the quarter increased 10.1% from 79 cents in the year-ago quarter. Revenue URS Corp. reported revenues of $2.34 billion compared with $2.32 billion in the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus revenue estimate for the quarter was $2.49 billion. The company’s results in the quarter were driven by a strong demand for engineering and construction services in the federal sector and increased infrastructure projects, like high speed rail, mass transit and flood control. This growth was offset by challenging economic environment in the power and industrial and commercial sectors. However, the company witnessed signs of stabilization in these markets.

		<description><![CDATA[Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (JEC) reported disappointing operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2010 with both top-line and bottom-line results reporting below expectations. Quarter Highlights During the quarter, Jacobs reported EPS of 61 cents, two cents below the year-ago level of 63 cents, and a penny below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 62 cents. Net earnings and revenues were $77.0 million and $2,343.0 million respectively, reflecting decreases of 2.9% and 8.2% from $79.3 million and $2,552.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenues were slightly down from the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,510.0 million. The decline was attributable to a not-so-significant recovery in the economic conditions and the continuous decrease in the company&#8217;s backlog, coupled with higher operating costs. Revenues from Technical professional services almost remain flat at $1,268.4 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tetra Tech (TTEK) made its third major acquisition in Canada by acquiring engineering and consulting firm BPR based in Quebec. The previous two were those of EBA Engineering Consultants in August 2010 and Wardrop Engineering in January 2009. BPR caters to water, energy, industrial plants, buildings and infrastructure projects. It has 1,600 employees and grossed $170 million in revenues over the trailing twelve months. The transaction is expected to be accretive to FY2011 earnings per share. We expect the U.S. stimulus package to drive accelerating sales and profit growth over the next couple of years. TTEK should exceed expectations in 2010, given its defensive growth profile, strong balance sheet and potential for further upside from stimulus spending and potentially accretive acquisitions.

		<description><![CDATA[I had a little extra buying power in my Wall Street Survivor portfolio so I went on the hunt for a new stock to add to that portfolio. As always I start on Barchart and screen for the stocks that in the last 20 trading sessions had price appreciations on at least 50% of those days. After taking the top 10 and doing some additional filtering I came upon Kratos Defense and Security Solutions (KTOS). Since 9/11 I&#8217;ve noticed a great change in the environment in the US. I have to go through check points and security screenings that I never thought would happen. Even when I go to athletic events at public middle schools and high schools, I must open up everything and be wanded with a metal detector. ]]></description>
