Summary

MasTec closed its acquisition of Electrical Specialists, Inc. (d/b/a Superior Group) on July 20, 2026, funding the transaction with $1.3 billion in debt. The company drew the full $700 million available under a new senior unsecured delayed draw term loan and borrowed $600 million from its existing revolving credit facility.

Approximately $1.28 billion of the combined proceeds went toward acquisition consideration (including roughly $105 million in acquired cash on Superior's balance sheet) and transaction fees, with the balance allocated to working capital. The financing represents a material leverage increase for MasTec.

Retail holders should monitor how the company integrates Superior Group's electrical contracting operations and whether the combined entity generates sufficient cash flow to service the new debt load. The acquisition's strategic rationale and expected returns will be key to assessing whether the leverage is justified.
