Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

From August 31, 2025, to December 4, 2025, Fluor (FLR) stock experienced significant movements. While a precise 7.4% movement across the entire period wasn't detailed, several factors contributed to its volatility during this time.

1. Fluor's stock plunged over 30% on August 1, 2025, after reporting disappointing Q2 2025 financial results. The company reported 6% lower revenue and 49% lower adjusted earnings per share, primarily due to higher costs from subcontractor errors on three infrastructure projects and an unexpected arbitration ruling in Mexico. This significant drop occurred at the beginning of the period in question, impacting the overall movement.

2. The company's Q2 2025 earnings also highlighted a 12% year-over-year decline in backlog to $28.2 billion. This reduction was attributed to softness in the oil and gas, battery chemicals, and mining markets. Additionally, Fluor slashed its adjusted EPS guidance for 2025 from a previous forecast of $2.25 to $2.75 down to $1.95 to $2.15, leading to a "crash" in the stock.
