These are the stocks for playing Biden’s infrastructure push, analysts say
President Joe Biden’s big speech on infrastructure is slated to come on Wednesday as he visits Pittsburgh. Analysts have been thinking about his push for spending $3 trillion or more on roads, clean energy, broadband and much more — including how to make money from it.
Stifel analysts covering specialty engineering, construction and related services have highlighted five stocks from those sectors, saying in a Monday note that they’re “ways to play the infrastructure spend.” The team of analysts focused on names that have merited “buy” ratings from their shop and that have high revenue exposure to “markets that would likely see investment.”
Here are Stifel’s five picks:
Dycom Industries DY,
Quanta Services PWR,
MasTec MTZ,
MYR Group MYRG,
Atlas Technical Consultants ATCX,
Beyond those five stocks, the Stifel analysts said other beneficiaries in specialty engineering, construction and related services will include infrastructure rehabilitation company Aegion AEGN,
Meanwhile, energy-sector analysts at Truist said in a Monday note that there is “a broad consensus for a high likelihood of a stand-alone storage ITC,” referring to an investment tax credit, with it coming “possibly in a Biden infrastructure package.”
That type of incentive “would further support the already robust growth outlook for the space,” the Truist team said.
