MasTec
MasTec's revenue rose 16.2% to $14.3 billion in fiscal 2025. Its net margin was 2.8%, up from 1.3% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $286 million, down 70.6%. It paid out $77 million in dividends and buybacks, 27% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 0.2%.
Net margin is net income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What MasTec does
MasTec is a North American infrastructure engineering and construction company. It designs, builds, installs, maintains and upgrades communications networks, energy and utility systems and other infrastructure. That includes wireless and fiber networks, power lines, renewable power plants, data center and industrial projects, and pipelines. At the end of 2025 it had approximately 36,000 employees and 810 locations.
MasTec earns its money by doing this work for customers under contracts, and it has five reportable segments: Communications; Clean Energy and Infrastructure; Power Delivery; Pipeline Infrastructure; and Other. The Other segment holds certain equity investees and small business units with activities in some international markets. In 2025 it moved a utility operations component from Communications to Power Delivery, which changed the segment figures but not its total results.
The company says demand should come from federal infrastructure programs, including funding for broadband, clean energy and grid upgrades, and from rising electricity demand and aging power grids. It also says it expects growth in natural gas and water pipelines. These are the company's own expectations, not facts about the future.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Tariffs and trade actions that could raise costs or disrupt work.
- Misjudging the cost of work done under fixed price contracts, which can cut profit.
- Backlog that may be cancelled or adjusted and so may not turn into revenue or profit.
- Subcontractors and suppliers that may fail to meet their obligations.
- Obligations tied to its unionized workforce, plus the risks of acquisitions and joint ventures.

Valuation
Two ways to value MasTec yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from MasTec's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from MasTec's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $286M, net cash of −$1.9B at December 31, 2025 and 79 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to MasTec: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 13.5% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 10%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Construction & Engineering), plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2023); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from MasTec's earnings per share of $6.27 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 27.5×, the middle of MasTec's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (MasTec's own P/E today) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 11%, 10% and 9%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
