Deutsche Bank analyst Chad Dillard says he sees a "realistic path" towards KBR becoming a $20-$25 stock as the market beings to appreciate the company's transformation to a government/technical services company. The analyst, however, keeps a Hold rating on KBR with a $14 price target. The engineering and construction company closed yesterday up 10c to $14.50. Consensus estimates for 2017-2018 are too high and a reset in expectations could cause near-term price volatility, Dillard tells investors in a research note. He is "warming" to KBR's transformation but expects a more attractive entry point "down the road."

KBR announced it has signed a contract to provide its green ammonia technology, K-GreeN, for Fortescue's Holmaneset green energy project in Norway. Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide technology license, proprietary engineering design, and FEED support engineering services for the 675 metric tonnes per day grassroots green ammonia plant in Norway.
