Advisors' Opinion:

• [By James E. Brumley]

  Last week, the headlines reporting the U.S. Census Bureau's construction numbers for November were a little alarming. Overall construction spending  fell 03% -- a big deal for this particul! ar industry -- suggesting heavy construction stocks like MasTec, Inc. (NYSE:MTZ) and Granite Construction Inc. (NYSE:GVA) were in big trouble after a lackluster 2014. The headlines were a little (perhaps more than a little) misleading, though.

  Despite its recent troubles, KBR is still one of the better stocks to buy if you want to play the prospective infrastructure boom.

  MasTec (MTZ)

  While it isn't as big as KBR or CBI, MasTec (MTZ) is quickly becoming of the best energy stocks to buy. Shares of the construction firm recently hit 10-year highs.

• [By Rich Duprey]

  MasTec (NYSE: MTZ  ) is well-known for being a leading infrastructure construction company across various industries, so its announcement this morning that it is acquiring an oil and gas pipeline and facility construction services company should not come as a surprise.
