Shares in this construction company have sagged a little since our last review but some great news was released recently. Abigroup (along with Leighton Holdings) has been named the preferred tenderer for the $1.5bn Western Sydney Orbital motorway. The joint Abigroup/Leighton Holdings consortium will see each partner receive $750m for the design, construction and maintenance of a 40km, four lane motorway in Sydney's west. However, the contract will not have an impact on profits until the 2004 financial year. Despite this the company believes it has enough work in hand to deliver respectable revenue and profit growth in 2003 and beyond. With a number of other potential contracts still in the pipeline, we reiterate our LONG TERM BUY.
