Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Aaron Levitt]

    Despite its recent troubles, KBR is still one of the better stocks to buy if you want to play the prospective infrastructure boom.

    MasTec (MTZ)

    While it isn't as big as KBR or CBI, MasTec (! MTZ) is quickly becoming of the best energy stocks to buy. Shares of the construction firm recently hit 10-year highs.

  • [By Rich Duprey]

    MasTec (NYSE: MTZ  ) is well-known for being a leading infrastructure construction company across various industries, so its announcement this morning that it is acquiring an oil and gas pipeline and facility construction services company should not come as a surprise.

  • [By Michael Lewis]

    For a quick comparison, take a look at U.S.-based Mastec (NYSE: MTZ  ) , which trades at just under 13.75 times forward earnings yet holds a more conservative balance sheet and is a good bit larger at a market cap of $2.34 billion. While Mastec is building out its operations in Canada, Empresas offers potential outperformance by virtue of its market dominant position in Mexico.
