“Many of our Industrial positions provide necessary business-to-business operational services, highly technical components, automation & efficiency improvements, or essential infrastructure services. Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEK) provides consulting and engineering services. Its stock price rose 11% after they reported fiscal second quarter revenues that surpassed Street estimates and increased forward guidance. A key development in the quarter was an FDA ruling imposing a very strict contamination limit on polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) chemicals in drinking water. We believe PFAS analysis, monitoring and remediation can be an important business driver for Tetra Tech for several years.”
