barrons3	Outperform - Price 11.75 on Jan. 6 by Friedman Billings Ramsey Capital Markets We expect meaningful growth from MasTec [an end-to-end telecommunications and energy-infrastructure service provider] in 2009 as the company benefits from a 15-month diversification strategy -- which, most recently, includes the acquisition of Wanzek, a specialty/general contractor focused on power generation (wind, gas), industrial, and heavy civil (roads/bridges). The Wanzek acquisition closed in late December and, we estimate, will add between $425 million and $450 million to revenue in 2009. On a pro forma basis, going into 2009, MasTec's mix of revenue is now more attractive, with approximately 50% utility, 25% [digital-TV], 20% telecom (wireless and wireline), and 5% government (water/wastewater). We're raising our target to 18 (from 17), 15 times our 2009 EPS estimate, or one times its longer-term EPS growth rate of 15%. Market cap: $845 million.	Love	January 10, 2009

barrons2	MasTec (MTZ), down 1.6%. Cramer said the poor performance of the Wind-ex stocks has nothing to do with the wind power business, but rather with the industrial components of all of the companies. He reminded viewers that as wind power accounts for larger portions of their earnings, the other divisions will account for less. He views the current weakness in the stocks as a valid pullback and a buying opportunity.	Love	July 17, 2008
