Our Take
Tetra Tech is bullish about its growth across all four client sectors, namely, U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, the U.S. commercial and international. Based on growth rate forecast for both the U.S. federal and the U.S. state and local markets, the company expects sales from these markets to comprise almost a third of its business and grow at a rate of 2% in fiscal 2019.
Moreover, in a bid to maximize growth prospects, the company is currently focusing on high-end consulting and engineering services that are helping it promote its high value and high margin business. This is differentiating it from other players in the market.
In addition, Tetra Tech expects that solid opportunities across the globe will continue to boost its international revenues. For fiscal 2019, the company expects a 10% growth rate with its international clients, particularly in Canada and Asia Pacific region. Notably, revenue growth across these regions will be driven by infrastructure programs as well as industrial consulting and design work.
