Company Report

We Expect That Heidelberg Materials Will Mitigate Higher Transportation and Energy Costs

Heidelberg Materials is one of the largest manufacturers of building materials globally, with the majority of its revenue earned from cement production. The cement industry is a notorious contributor of carbon dioxide emissions, which has made the sector uninvestable for many investors due to environmental concerns. Heidelberg is pioneering investments into carbon capture and storage technologies, along with its peers, to help lower their carbon footprint. Unlike peers CRH and Holcim, there is no indication of Heidelberg diversifying into light building materials.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Heidelberg Materials' contribution of profits is concentrated toward upstream activities, such as aggregates and cement, which have high barriers to entry and command strong pricing power in developed markets.

Bears

Heidelberg's earnings are exposed to volatility in energy prices and stringent carbon emissions regulation, given that the majority of its revenue is derived from energy-intensive cement production.
