The company’s prospects have been gaining on strong market trends in the non-pipeline business and an increase in the pipeline market, indicating backlog growth.The company’s diversified business model, coupled with strong market demand, positions it well for continued growth across key segments. MasTec is likely to have benefited from a solid backlog, driven by increasing customer demand for services in areas such as Clean Energy & Infrastructure, Power Delivery and Communications.For the second quarter, MasTec expects revenues of about $3.4 billion compared with $3 billion reported in the prior-year quarter.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter revenues for the Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment is pegged at $1.15 billion, indicating an increase from $942 million reported in the prior quarter.Furthermore, the Power Delivery segment has been showing healthy trends, supported by continued progress on the Greenlink transmission project. The project remains on schedule and is likely to have supported the segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. For the Power Delivery unit, revenues are currently pegged at $1 billion, up from $637 million reported a year ago.For backlog, the consensus mark is currently pegged at $15.88 billion compared with $13.34 billion reported a year ago.For the second quarter, the company expects adjusted EBITDA to be $270-$280 million, implying an increase from $267.8 million reported a year ago.

Project delays in Clean Energy and Infrastructure, unfavorable project mix in Pipeline Infrastructure, incremental slowness in housing and tariff-related hesitancy are also expected to have affected the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Communications segment is currently pegged at $770 million compared with $825 million reported a year ago.
