TO
• A reliable distribution network that can
reach majority of its potential market
• Successful acquisitions over the past few
years to streamline its operations and to
build a reliable supply chain
• Highly skilled workforce with
experienced management team
• Strong nationwide fiber deployment projects
from telecommunication and cable TV
companies in the upcoming years
• Publicly disclosed plans and initiatives for 5G
from every major carrier, with AT&T is the
main customer of MasTec Inc
• Gaps in the product range sold by the
company. This lack of choice can give a new
competitor a foothold in the market.
• Investment in Research and Development is
below the fastest growing players in the
industry
• Increasing competition for contracts
• Rising cost of raw materials
• Reliance on other telecom companies
