asnider	good company, will prosper	Love	September 10, 2009
barrons3	Buy - Price 21.32 on Aug. 11 by Jefferies & Co. Oil-and-gas-services company McDermott International posted 2Q09 EPS of 40 cents, versus our 36-cent estimate and consensus, [and versus] 33 cents in 1Q09 and 77 cents a year ago. MDR's 2Q upside surprise supports our belief that management is executing the backlog efficiently, particularly at J. Ray [the marine-services group, which designs, fabricates and installs offshore platforms and pipelines]. The backlog slipped a bit sequentially, as expected; management noted that bidding levels remain solid. We're raising our price target to 30 from 26. Market cap: $4.9 billion.	Love	August 15, 2009

pcolajoe	Way undervalued, high cash position	Love	June 28, 2009
barrons3	Seymour liked McDermott(MDR) and Macke liked General Electric (GE).	Love	May 20, 2009
barrons3	Najarian is mixed on the market but even if it pulls back he's longer term bullish because the S&P is making higher lows. "I’m a believer in the engineering stocks, says Pete Najarian. I’d look at Shaw Group (SGR), McDermott (MDR) and Fluor (FLR)."	Love	April 29, 2009
barrons3	I’d look at McDermott (MDR), Fluor (FLR) as well as American Superconductor (AMSC), adds the Pit Boss.	Love	April 29, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"This is a great company, but in the end, we have a President that's anti-carbon, so I can't get behind it."

xeyeluc	take over?	Love	April 19, 2009
tjrad001	Great long term growth stock with world wide construction exposure I think it has been beat down and is far undervalued as of march 09.	Love	March 18, 2009
barrons3	Pete Najarian thinks Exxon's spending speaks to how important all types of energy will become in the not too distant future. And he likes trading that trend with the engineering firms. "I’d take a look at McDermott (MDR) and Fluor (FLR)," he said. "I really like their prospects going forward."	Love	March 11, 2009
barrons3	Shaw (SGR) and McDermott (MDR) get legs and they are completely different from ACM, almost entirely power-related. Remember, when you think about ACM, you should be thinking about things like the Second Avenue Subway in New York, which got a ton of financing in the congressional stimulus plan.	Love	February 12, 2009
MDB4663	GREAT VALUE	Love	December 12, 2008
barrons3	Going into today's session, if you added up the market caps of the big six infrastructure companies -- McDermott (MDR), Foster Wheeler (FWLT), Shaw Group (SGR), Jacobs Engineering (JEC), CBI (CBI) and Fluor (FLR) -- they were not equal to the market cap Fluor had last June.	Love	November 13, 2008
sarah z	"Going into today's session, if you added up the market caps of the big six infrastructure companies -- McDermott (MDR), Foster Wheeler (FWLT), Shaw Group (SGR), Jacobs Engineering (JEC), CBI (CBI) and Fluor (FLR) -- they were not equal to the market cap Fluor had last June. Meanwhile, while all of these companies are experiencing some degree of pushback on energy projects, they are all extremely profitable. Fluor reported a good number last night and the stock is flying, but what's amazing to me is there is not a soul on earth who believes that we are not in a power-supply- and infrastructure-starved world. That's the bread and butter of these companies. It is what they do. It is how they make their living. If I were running a major infrastructure-oriented company, I would take advantage of this anomaly and roll them all up into one big infrastructure division. Their projects on the books, even if cut in half, would still generate a huge amount of income. The long-term secular trends are totally clear. What are these stocks doing down here? The usual. They are all owned by hedge funds. The hedge funds are still liquidating. Of course, no one in the real business world could possibly understand this, or they would have spent the $17 billion it would have taken to buy all of these companies as of their closing price yesterday. Sure, there would be some premium involved. But this roll-up of every major infrastructure company in America, ahead of the power supply shortages and the promised infrastructure programs under Obama, is just way too cheap to be ignored. It ought to be someone's game plan, some company's opportunity. But they are all paralyzed. Everyone. So I presume nothing will happen."	Love	November 07, 2008
barrons3	Infra is being annihilated. McDermott (MDR) said some really negative things about some Middle East contracts, and that group is being wrecked across the board. As they go lower, I like them more. And I like Caterpillar (CAT) right here because of the accidentally high dividend.	Love	November 06, 2008
Joy111	interstructor	Love	October 21, 2008
barrons3	These are just midsized companies now, profitable, well-run, midsized companies with lots of cash, doing very well. McDermott (MDR) and Foster Wheeler (FWLT) are $4 billion companies. Fluor's (FLR) only $8 billion. How can this be? How can it be? These are not the same companies they were when they were last this size. They are better, smarter, faster. They have great global businesses.	Love	October 09, 2008
barrons3	I think McDermott's (MDR) next; it has huge cash, not a big market cap and no debt.	Love	September 18, 2008
barrons2	Foster Wheeler (FWLT), Fluor (FLR) and McDermott (MDR) are in free fall, and while I was disappointed in McDermott's earnings, I am miffed that FWLT and FLR, which had really great backlogs and earnings, can't get any support at all here.	Love	August 14, 2008
barrons2	Manu Daftary of Quaker Strategic Growth (No. 9) is the leader in Aggressive Growth this year. Nowadays, Daftary thinks engineering concerns McDermott International (MDR) and ABB (ABB) are attractive.	Love	August 09, 2008
barrons2	“I’d look at Shaw Group (SGR), Flour Corp (FLR) and McDermott (MDR)," Adami counsels.	Love	July 16, 2008
riordanc	?	Love	July 15, 2008
barrons2	Fluor's (FLR) been a big winner here, so that one's off to the races, taking up a lot of other infra names; I prefer Foster (FWLT), McDermott (MDR) and Shaw (SGR) at these levels.	Love	June 26, 2008
barrons2	He said McDermott (MDR) has also put in a series of higher lows and advised buying on any move above $62.	Love	June 03, 2008
barrons2	The senators from the coal lands --Wyoming and West Virginia -- have no clout. We don't even have rules dictating what coal plants we will allow! That's why I can't get behind McDermott (MDR).	Love	May 22, 2008
mhafezi	Involvement with US government in engineering, and construction	Love	April 21, 2008
Jeffrey owns SuckingLess.com	4000% over 5 years, and still trading at the lower end of it's P/E range. This should not be classified as a Engineering & Construction company. It's a highly efficient mass (low cost) producer of oil & gas infrastructure.	Love	March 07, 2008
chrisblank	it has made me a lot of money	Love	March 03, 2008
bizabcs	Company Services, and it is well managed.	Love	February 25, 2008
