Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Balfour Beatty plc trades at $25.55, which is 44% above the $14.20 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 38 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 18.0 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Common questions
Is Balfour Beatty plc (BLFBY) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $14.20, BLFBY at $25.55 is 44% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
What is BLFBY's P/E ratio?
BLFBY trades at 18.0 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Balfour Beatty plc (BLFBY) pay a dividend?
Yes. Balfour Beatty plc yields 1.52% at the current share price. It has paid $0.373 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 5 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
