What Fluor does

Global engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm serving energy, chemicals, government and mining/metals clients.

Is paid on contracts that are either cost-reimbursable, where the client covers costs plus a fee, or fixed-price, where overruns come out of its own pocket; after large losses on fixed-price jobs it has steered toward reimbursable work. Revenue comes from the backlog of awarded projects, which turns into sales over several years. It holds a significant stake in NuScale Power, the small-nuclear-reactor developer.

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base, brand). Large-scale project-delivery track record, though EPC contracts carry meaningful execution risk.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
