MTZ analyst data as of October 2026, sourced from Yahoo Finance and may be delayed. A price target is what an analyst published on a date, not a forecast Walnut endorses, and targets are typically set on a 12-month view. Verify current figures before deciding.

The average target of $413.40 sits well above the $217.69 price, +89.9%. The median is $409.50, and where the two differ the median is the steadier read, because one unusually high or low target cannot drag it.

What the MTZ target range actually tells you

The published targets span $313.00 to $518.00. That gap is 50% of the average target, which counts as moderate disagreement. That is a fairly typical spread: enough agreement that the average means something, enough disagreement that it should not be treated as precise.

The useful move is to read the high target as one bull scenario and the low target as one bear scenario, then ask which set of assumptions you find more plausible. Both cases are worked through on the MTZ is it a buy page.

The most recent published rating actions on MTZ within the last six months, from Yahoo Finance. Each row is dated because a target only means something alongside the date it was set. Walnut is not an investment adviser and does not endorse any of these views.

In the last six months there have been 2 raises and 9 cuts among these actions. The direction of revisions is often more telling than the level, because it shows which way informed opinion is moving.

How analysts rate MTZ

Of the analysts with a published rating, 20 say buy, 1 say hold, and 0 say sell, so 95% carry a buy. That mix has been broadly steady over the last three months.

Read the distribution rather than the label. Sell ratings are rare across the entire market for structural reasons, so a stock with no sell ratings is unremarkable, while even a handful of them is worth understanding.

Why a MTZ price target is not a prediction

  • It is a 12-month model output. An analyst picks assumptions for revenue, margin, and a multiple, and the target falls out of the arithmetic. Change one assumption and the target moves a lot.
  • The distribution is skewed. Sell-side coverage carries far more buy ratings than sell ratings across the whole market, so the average is not a balanced vote.
  • Targets follow price as often as they lead it. Revisions frequently arrive after a move, not before, which is why a rising target is weak evidence on its own.
  • Nobody is scored on it. There is no cost to a target that never gets close, so treat accuracy as unverified unless you check the firm's record yourself.

Is there a 2030 forecast for MTZ?

Not a published one. Analyst price targets run to about twelve months, occasionally two years, and the firms covering MTZ do not put out a 2030 number. Anything presenting one is extrapolating a growth rate rather than reporting research, and a figure produced that way tells you about the assumption chosen, not about the company.

On the figures we hold as of October 2026, MTZ trades at about 34.7 times trailing earnings and 17.3 times forward earnings. A forward multiple below the trailing one means the market expects earnings to grow, and the size of that gap is roughly how much growth is already in the price.

That is the more useful frame for a ten-year question. A share price is the market’s estimate of future cash flows discounted to today, so the multiple is already a statement about growth. The long-horizon question is whether MasTec can deliver what is priced in, and what would have to change for that to break. Both are answerable from the drivers and risks below. A number for 2030 is not.

What could move MTZ from here

In short: the drivers cited most often are Record backlog and demand acceleration, Grid, data-center, and electrification tailwinds, Margin recovery and earnings leverage. The risk cited most often against it is masTec is cyclical and project-based, so revenue and margins can swing with customer capital budgets, permitting delays, weather, and the timing of large contracts.

Both sides are worked through properly, with the high and low targets used as the bull and bear anchors, on the MTZ is it a buy page. This page deliberately stops at the numbers.

FAQ

What is the price target for MasTec (MTZ)?

+

The average analyst price target for MTZ is $413.40 as of October 2026, across 20 analysts. That is +89.9% against the $217.69 price at the time of the data pull, so the consensus sits well above where the stock trades. The median target, which is less distorted by one extreme view, is $409.50. Targets move constantly; verify the current figure before relying on it.

How high could MTZ go?

+

The highest published target is $518.00, which is +138.0% against the $217.69 price. That is one analyst's most optimistic case, not a ceiling and not a forecast. The lowest is $313.00. The gap between them is the honest answer to this question: analysts who all follow MasTec closely disagree by 50% of the average target, so treat any single number as one scenario.

How many analysts cover MTZ?

+

20 analysts publish estimates on MTZ as of October 2026. Of those with a published rating, 20 say buy, 1 hold, and 0 sell, so 95% carry a buy rating. More coverage usually means the consensus is better informed, though it also means the obvious points are already in the price.

Are analyst price targets for MTZ accurate?

+

Treat them as informed opinion, not measurement. Two things are worth knowing. Sell-side ratings skew positive across the market, and MTZ is no exception at 95% buy ratings, so the distribution is not a balanced vote. And targets tend to follow the share price at least as often as they lead it, getting raised after a stock has already run. They are most useful as a read on what the informed consensus expects, and least useful as a prediction of where the price lands.

Has the MTZ price target been raised or cut recently?

+

In the last six months there have been 2 raises and 9 cuts among the published actions on MTZ. The most recent was Piper Sandler, which lowered its target to $313.00 from $321.00 on September 28, 2026. The direction of revisions often tells you more than the level, because it shows which way the informed view is moving.

What is the MTZ stock price prediction for 2030?

+

There is no published one. Analyst targets run to about twelve months and no firm covering MTZ publishes a 2030 figure, so any site showing one has extrapolated a growth rate rather than reported research. The answerable version of the question is what the current price already assumes about MasTec's earnings, which the forward multiple on this page sets out, and what would have to change for that to break.

Will MTZ go up in 2026?

+

Nobody knows, including the analysts publishing targets. What the numbers on this page tell you is where informed opinion currently sits and how much it disagrees with itself, which is genuinely useful and completely different from a prediction. The risk most often cited against MasTec: MasTec is cyclical and project-based, so revenue and margins can swing with customer capital budgets, permitting delays, weather, and the timing of large contracts. Walnut is not an investment adviser.

Walnut is informational, not investment advice, and does not publish price targets of its own. The analyst figures on this page come from a October 2026 data pull of published third-party research, are approximate, and change constantly.
