BNN Bloomberg
As SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. continues to execute its strategy from four years ago to transform the business, the company’s top executive expects it to be cash flow positive in the second half of the year.
Ian Edwards, president and chief executive officer of SNC-Lavalin, said in an interview with BNN Bloomberg Friday that the company has been “methodically working” for the past four years to transform the business. He said this transformation has three key parts, including exiting both oil and gas as well as construction and doubling down on growing markets like nuclear power.
“We're really pleased with the results that we’re achieving in growth [in] Q1 and Q2,” Edwards said, adding that the company hit 14 per cent growth during the first half of the fiscal year.
Edwards also noted the business was expecting “a drag” from previously closing out construction contracts.

Oil prices rise and stocks fall as war with Iran still advances despite Trump’s talk of negotiations
U.S. markets ticked slightly lower and oil prices rose early Tuesday as the war in the Middle East continued a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States had made progress in talks with the Islamic Republic to end the conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. was talking with a “respected” Iranian leader and claimed the Islamic Republic was eager for a deal to end the war. He also extended a deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, saying it has an additional five days.
