MasTec announced the close of its $1.65 billion acquisition of The Superior Group, funded with cash on hand, existing credit facilities, and delayed-draw loans, plus a potential cash earnout. The addition of ~3,000 employees enhances MasTec’s capacity for data center, power and mission-critical infrastructure, signaling a strategic move to grow backlog and scale amid rising infrastructure demand.
The deal increases scale, enhances backlog, and expands exposure to high-growth data-center and critical-infrastructure markets. Financing via cash and leveraged facilities introduces near‑term leverage considerations and earnout uncertainty, but the strategic fit and growth potential support a positive price trajectory.
Bullish over 6–12 months as the acquisition expands MasTec’s infra-capacity and backlog.
Category: M&A. The acquisition represents a strategic expansion of MasTec's infrastructure-capacity platform, with potential long-term revenue growth supported by synergies in data center and mission-critical projects.
