MasTec Acquires The Superior Group in $1.65B Deal
Infrastructure giant MasTec is snapping up The Superior Group in a $1.65 billion cash and stock transaction, signaling a major consolidation move.
MasTec, one of the country's biggest infrastructure and engineering contractors, has agreed to acquire The Superior Group in a deal valued at $1.65 billion, combining cash and stock to get it done. If you follow the infrastructure space, this is the kind of blockbuster acquisition that reshapes competitive dynamics pretty quickly.
