Just last week, All-Star TSIF advised Fools to pounce on the stock's recent weakness:

In a market sell off, sometimes you have to look for excess selling. Doesn't mean the market won't drop more, but a 13% drop on a solid company with no news reported when the market drops 3% is worth a look. Foster Wheeler Ltd has had a recent history of disappointing on earnings. Overall, however, they are in a niche position as energy prices rise and more projects in the oil patch and power prodeuction are likely to be started. While margins are typically in the 6-8% range, ROE is a healthy 30%. Cash flow is solid and earnings have been consistant qoq the last year. Cash on hand well exceeds debt.
