The infrastructure construction company issued 5.850% unsecured notes with a 10-year maturity under its existing base indenture.
MasTec Issues $650 Million in Long-Term Debt
MasTec, Inc. (MTZ) completed a $650 million public offering of senior unsecured notes on August 17, 2026, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 5.850% notes mature on September 30, 2036, providing the infrastructure construction company with long-term capital at a fixed rate (8-K filing, 2026-08-17).
The notes were issued under the company's base indenture dated June 5, 2009, with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, serving as trustee. This represents the twenty-second supplemental indenture under the base agreement, indicating MasTec's continued use of the debt capital markets to fund its operations (8-K filing, 2026-08-17).
Terms and Structure
The 2036 senior notes are senior unsecured obligations that "rank equally with all of the Company's other senior unsecured indebtedness," according to the filing. However, the notes are effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness "to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness" (8-K filing, 2026-08-17).
Notably, the notes are not guaranteed by any of MasTec's subsidiaries, making them "structurally subordinated to all of the obligations of the Company's subsidiaries, including trade payables" (8-K filing, 2026-08-17). This structure is typical for parent-level debt but means noteholders have claims only on the parent company's assets, not those of its operating subsidiaries.
Interest on the notes will be paid semi-annually on March 30 and September 30 of each year, beginning March 30, 2027. MasTec retains the right to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time at redemption prices specified in the indenture (8-K filing, 2026-08-17).
Context and Market Positioning
With a market capitalization of approximately $24 billion and shares last trading at $302.48, MasTec is a significant player in the U.S. infrastructure construction sector. The company's ability to access the debt markets at 5.850% for a 10-year maturity reflects current credit market conditions for investment-grade or near-investment-grade issuers.
The offering comes as the Federal Reserve prepares for its next policy meeting on September 16, 2026, with additional meetings scheduled for October 28 and December 9, according to MarginX data. Interest rate expectations typically influence corporate borrowing decisions and pricing.
MarginX data also shows recent insider activity at MasTec, with Jorge Mas executing a transaction involving 1,099,335 shares and Jose Ramon Mas transacting 340,794 shares on two separate occasions, all coded as "J" transactions.

The filing was signed by Alberto de Cardenas, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of MasTec (8-K filing, 2026-08-17).
The indenture provides for "customary events of default and remedies," though the filing notes that certain provisions of the base indenture do not apply to these particular notes (8-K filing, 2026-08-17).
