After my last post, which was part I of the transportation sector as a whole, I've now decided to actually begin the process researching my first company. What I will do is try to set up the post so that it'll be somewhat interactive in the sense that you can also do the research yourself, and I won't be spoonfeeding you information (if you're interested in seeing what exactly goes into these analyses). For today, we will solely go over public available information and financials derived from them. Anyway, since us financiers like it concise and short, I'll begin:

• 10-K (http://quote.morningstar.com/stock-filing/Annual-Report/2011/12/31/t.aspx?t=XTSE:SNC&ft=&d=576922afa6235de01d716b084d032106)
• 10-Q (http://quote.morningstar.com/stock-filing/Quarterly-Report/2012/6/30/t.aspx?t=XTSE:SNC&ft=&d=85a4526d9aff1d73b61c4dcf6dca9756)
• Annual Reports (this can be found on (http://www.sedar.com , company search SNC-lavalin and the date is April 26, 2012)
• Conference calls (optional, will not be done in this analysis)

Step 2: Financials

1) EPS growth rate

To determine this, we will look at the diluted EPS (which is more accurate than basic EPS) for the previous years, which can be shown as such from the annual report:

EPS                                               Growth

2007: 

2008: $2.05
