Q: Please rank these companies, or suggest alternatives, as investment opportunities in the build out of the electric grid to accommodate changes in energy delivery - based on their current stock valuations.
Read Answer Asked by John on October 30, 2023
Q: An excerpt from Oaktree's quartley letters,concerning the US power grid, states:

The entire power grid needs to be updated and reimagined in many ways – some obvious and some that take more expertise to appreciate.

For example, substation equipment will need to be upgraded to handle renewable capacity additions. Tens of thousands of miles of overhead conductors will need to be replaced, and new lines will need to be built. And new distribution equipment, such as transformers, will need to be installed and serviced. In short, we believe investors should focus on the entire electric power value chain – from generation through consumption.

Could you please list some companies that you feel would benefit from the above changes.

Q: Hello Peter,
I would appreciate if you could compare and contrast MTZ and J from an investment perspective today. In light of the the US govt going 'big' on stimulus and spending; and the prospect of shift to growth at a reasonable price, how would you rank MTZ, J, TT and RTX with the best first.
Thank you in advance for your valuable opinion.
Regards
Rajiv

The US will try to open up the Economy and create employment. I remember they have talked about spending on infrastructure. I am looking for some opportunities there. Do you think CLF is a good mid/long term investment? What are your recommendations if not?
Thank you,

Q: Mastec reported a record quarter with eps of .99 against an estimate of 0.62 and increased its guidance as well. The stock spiked 7% but is now in a downward drift trading below the pre release prices. Could you direct me to any information or news that would help explain this downward pressure? Also, do you have an opinion on this company? Would you buy at these levels?
Thank you.
