S&P lowers MasTec to negative

Standard & Poor's said it revised the outlook on MasTec Inc. to negative from stable and affirmed its BB corporate credit rating on the company.

The agency also said it affirmed the BB- rating on the company's $400 million senior unsecured notes due 2023.

The outlook revision reflects that a chance that the agency could lower the company’s corporate credit during the next year if its adjusted debt-to-EBITDA metric remains at more than 3.5x for an extended period, S&P said.

MasTec sustained weaker-than-expected credit measures in 2015 due to weak market conditions and execution issues, the agency said.

The company's performance is expected to improve in 2016, but S&P said it recognizes uncertain trends in some of its end markets.
