The company recently issued approximately $647.76 million in 5.85% notes due 2036. MasTec's share price closed at $272.46, reflecting a 50.3% gain over the past year and 192.3% over five years, though down 28.8% in the past month.

MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) (“MasTec”) today announced the pricing of its public offering of $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2036. T...
MasTec has priced a public offering of $650 million in senior notes due 2036. The notes will carry a 5.850% interest rate, payable semi-annually, and were priced at 99.656%. They will mature on 30 September 2036. The company intends to use the net proceeds primarily to repay some or all of its $600 million term loan, which matures on 26 June 2028, and to cover related fees and expenses. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, potentially including repayment of existing debt under its senior unsecured credit facility. The offering is expected to close on 17 August 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. PNC Capital Markets, Truist Securities, Wells Fargo Securities, BofA Securities and J.P. Morgan Securities are serving as joint book-running managers.
MasTec shares fell 17.7% after the infrastructure construction company reported mixed second-quarter 2026 results. Revenue of $4.37 billion rose 23.4% year-over-year and slightly beat analyst expectations. However, adjusted earnings of $2.22 per share missed the Wall Street consensus of $2.23. The company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a midpoint of $9.30, but this remained below analyst projections. Investors focused on the earnings miss and disappointing outlook rather than the revenue beat, triggering a sharp sell-off. MasTec shares are up 17.1% year-to-date but remain 39.1% below their 52-week high of $437.51 from May 2026.
MasTec reported Q2 2026 revenue of $4.37 billion, up 23.4% year-over-year, beating the consensus estimate of $4.3 billion.

The company's backlog stood at $21.39 billion, surpassing the average analyst estimate of $20.52 billion. Revenue performance varied across segments: Clean Energy and Infrastructure grew 43.4% to $1.62 billion, whilst Power Delivery increased 19.2% to $1.25 billion. Communications revenue rose 6.2% to $888.9 million. Most segments met or exceeded analyst projections, though Communications' adjusted EBITDA of $73.1 million fell short of the $94.09 million estimate.
