We are transferring coverage of US building materials companies Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta, and Amrize. The companies produce aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, and other building materials used across infrastructure, nonresidential, and residential construction.
Acquisitions help strengthen pricing power and local presence in a region, and improve margins subsequently.
A smaller or delayed successor to current federal infrastructure funding, or weaker funding in Vulcan’s key states, could weigh on aggregate demand.
