On Monday, Stifel analysts announced a revised price target on MasTec (NYSE:MTZ) shares, lowering it to $175 from the previous $185, while still maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, MasTec is currently trading slightly below its Fair Value, with analyst targets ranging from $108 to $200, suggesting significant potential upside. The company’s fourth quarter of 2024 results surpassed expectations, particularly due to strong margin performance in its Communications, Energy, and Infrastructure (CE&I) segment. MasTec also experienced a year-over-year backlog increase of 15% and a 21% rise in implied orders, with notable strength in Power Delivery, likely influenced by a favorable rate case outcome with Exelon (NASDAQ:EXC).
Stifel’s analysis highlighted MasTec’s initial guidance for 2025, which exceeded analyst forecasts in all categories. However, the first quarter guidance for 2025 was slightly below expectations, which the company attributed to weather-related impacts. Furthermore, MasTec’s projection of Pipeline revenue exceeding $2.1 billion for 2026 is significantly above expectations, a positive indicator for margin mix and a supportive element for the outlook into the next year.
Stifel analysts remain optimistic about MasTec, citing several factors that contribute to their positive outlook. These include improving pipeline demand, better Days Sales Outstanding (DSOs) leading to enhanced cash flow generation, a turnaround in execution reflected in the margin performance of the CE&I segment, and backlog growth that indicates a robust demand environment. Based on these observations, MasTec continues to be one of Stifel’s top picks for 2025.
