FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund made the following comment about MasTec, Inc. (NYSE:MTZ) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“MasTec, Inc. (NYSE:MTZ) is a contractor that builds and repairs infrastructure for telecoms, electric utilities, oil and gas pipelines, and the clean energy industry. The Mas brothers have an impressive history of rolling up smaller players and growing earnings, most recently in the electrical and clean energy sectors. 14 The company is benefiting from strong spending for 5G in telecom and government support (including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) for clean energy and the electrical grid. 15 We took profits and reduced our position as MasTec’s story outran the company fundamentals earlier this year. In its second quarter earnings release, the company reduced 2023 guidance citing project delays, and the stock retraced some of its earlier gains.”
