MasTec price target lowered to $143 from $175 at Stifel

Stifel lowered the firm’s price target on MasTec (MTZ) to $143 from $175 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Following the firm’s Q1 Transmission and Distribution Engineering and Construction survey, the firm says respondent commentary highlighted a slightly softer Q1, relative strength from data centers, concerns over material pricing due to tariffs, and “particularly healthy backlogs.” The firm believes tariffs have also created incremental risk for the clean energy outlook and related T&D work, but stockpiling of materials among large developers likely supports activity this year, the analyst added in a note on the group in which the firm trimmed several price targets.
