On the utilities side, Quanta designs, installs and maintains large power line networks. That includes building towers and stringing hundred mile spans of cable. It also involves trenching and boring to lay underground lines.

They also provide services to the Telecom industry, by consolidating and buying more companies they are able to serve both the Telecom industry and the Electric utilities industry... The Company is "very comfortable with a mix of electric utility and telecom work that's in the 40 to 50% range either way.

This looks like a nice intermediate hold and the company reports its earnings on Tuesday. Subscribers have already traded it once and otheres could possibly trade it on anticipation once again this Monday/Tuesday.
