AI verdictAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

TickerTalks' own read on what's driving $MTZ — fundamentals, momentum, or an event — and whether it agrees with the X crowd.

Proven numbersWinding up for a moveAI verdict · as of 2026-09-19

Trading in a tight range and building pressure — a move looks likely soon, but the direction isn't clear yet.

MasTec down 24% from 50DMA — AI-infrastructure E&C basket cooling but backlog still there.

MasTec, Inc. is a specialty engineering-and-construction contractor — communications, energy, utility, and infrastructure segments. The equity has cooled 24% below the 50DMA after being one of the AI-infrastructure basket leaders.

  • The operating trajectory has been strong: Q2 EPS $2.22 in-line, Q1 beat by 40.5%, revenue $3.83B grew 34.5% YoY at 4% operating margin — the growth is real but the operating margin at 5.6% reflects the specific low-margin infrastructure-services business model.
  • The valuation is reflective: 62x TTM earnings and 1.9x sales for a business with 15% ROE — those numbers on a specialty-infrastructure E&C name are premium but supported by the specific AI-infrastructure-capex tailwind.
  • The position at 12% of 52-week range with volume running 1.79x reflects real cooling after the 76% YTD run-earlier-in-year — combined with the recent SC 13D/A from Jose Ramon Mas holdings (Aug 13), the setup is a specific ownership-plus-cycle-transition moment.

Oct 29 Q3 earnings is the referee. A confirming beat plus specific hyperscaler-AI-capex commentary breaks the coil upward; a soft utility-services comment or a specific project-timing miss resets. Watch $200 as coil support and $240 as the level that ends the drawdown. The AI-infrastructure E&C cohort (PWR, MTZ, STRL, AGX) sets direction on macro-AI-capex days.

Agrees with X sentimentThe $725B hyperscaler AI infrastructure capex commitment framing captures the actual thematic driver. Grouping with STRL/AGX as core 'builder of the AI boom' is exactly right given MasTec's specific contract wins with hyperscalers.

What to watch: Oct 29 Q3 earnings — communications and energy segment backlog, hyperscaler-AI-related revenue mix, and any specific project-timing commentary. Watch $200 coil support.

Industry overviewAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
61.8How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
10.3%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
5.6%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
0.6%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
1.9Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
14.5%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
11.3%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.9Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
