Upturn Advisory & Investor View for MTZ

11/06/2026: MTZ (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

MasTec Inc is a prominent engineering and infrastructure construction company providing critical services to the energy, utilities, and communications sectors. The firm has a leading position in renewable energy construction, significantly bolstered by the strategic acquisition of IEA, which provides a long-term tailwind for growth. However, investors must consider the company's reliance on large-scale project execution, which carries inherent risks of margin volatility and project delays. The company's high debt load and focus on growth over dividends make it primarily suitable for growth-oriented investors rather than those seeking income. Key developments to monitor include margin trends, success in debt reduction, and the stability of its leadership team.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
MTZ receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
MTZ has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+145.1%) and solid revenue growth (+16.2%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 2.0%), soft profitability (net margin 2.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
MTZ's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (2.0% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is MTZ's strongest growth driver at +145.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+16.2%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-70.6%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 77.1% and approximately 77.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 21.16% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 9.51%
Peconic Partners LLC 4.58%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.53%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 3.50%
State Street Corp 2.80%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
MTZ generates approximately $96 of gross profit, $46 of operating income, and $20 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins explain the 1-star rating, with soft cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 18.12%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
MTZ has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
