MasTec Is Well Positioned For 2018, The Numbers Prove It

Summary Points:

- MasTec recently reported impressive Q4 and Full-year 2017 operating results and the company's management team provided strong guidance for 2018.

- This small-cap company is well positioned for 2018 and beyond.

- MasTec is a long-term buy at today's price.

MasTec ($MTZ) has been a top performer for the R.I.P. Portfolio over the last year. Additionally, MasTec's most recent operating results show that its management team has the company well-positioned for 2018 and beyond.

This small-cap infrastructure company (market capitalization of ~$4.25B) has reported strong financial results in each of the last four quarters and the company's business segments are operating in industries that have promising long-term prospects. As a direct result, MTZ shares have outperformed the broader market by a wide margin over the last year.

However, it is important to note that MTZ shares are still attractively valued, even after the recent stock performance. Additionally, I believe that the company's Q4 and Full-year 2017 results show that the bull case for MasTec is still intact.
