Vulcan Materials: A Good Buy At Current Levels
Vulcan Materials is well-positioned to benefit from continued strength in public infrastructure, data center expansion, and heavy manufacturing, which should more than offset weakness in residential and light non-residential markets. Strong pricing momentum, including mid-year increases, combined with operational efficiencies through the 'Vulcan Way of Operating,' should support margin growth despite mixed volumes. Trading below its historical valuation, VMC offers a compelling 'Buy' opportunity supported by upside from pricing, infrastructure tailwinds, and potential recovery in the warehousing market.
